Memphis tourism picking back up after taking major hit in spring

Travel USA


Tourism in Memphis is slowly starting to increase after taking a big hit during the spring, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “We just thought we were going to have the year of years, and then [COVID-19] hit,” said Kevin Kane, president of Memphis Tourism. In January, Memphis was off to a great start and the city was coming off a record breaking year in tourism. Things came to a halt in March and April because of the pandemic, but Memphis Tourism President Kevin Kane said they began to see a positive change in May — when attractions began opening again.

      The Ultimate Oregon Adventure Road Trip Itinerary • The Blonde Abroad

      Travel USA


      Road tripping through Oregon? From Portland to Bend, here’s the ultimate itinerary for all the gorgeous green hikes and waterfalls. I visited Oregon as part of a one-month road trip in the western United States. I was mesmerized by the scenery in the western portion of Oregon: luscious trees climbing towards the sky, bright green moss enveloping forests, and towering waterfalls enticing visitors to marvel in their power. While most people will venture to the beautiful Crater Lake National Park and the popular waterfalls just outside of Portland, there is so much more to see and do if you’re willing to venture out just a bit further. You’ll be rewarded with a great workout, fewer crowds, and unbelievably beautiful views

              Travel USA


              Northeast Tennessee’s scenic beauty, outdoor recreation opportunities and low population density position its tourism industry well to recover from the COVID-19 downturn, the state’s Commissoner of Tourist Development said. “When you take counties like Washington, Sullivan, along with Sevier and all of the beauty with our lakes, with our rivers, with our mountains, we really do have an advantage,” Mark Ezell told News Channel 11. “Especially when people are wanting to drive instead of fly. So a lot of folks in this nation can get to Northeast and East Tennessee to enjoy the great outdoors.”

                    Travel USA


                    You’ve heard of all the big Southern Utah attractions, but do you know of these 13 hidden secret places to see in Utah? We share the adventures and surprises. When considering places to see in Utah you probably have the top Utah attractions like Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, Canyonlands National Park, and Arches National Park on your list. We think you should. They are incredible national parks in the United States. But, there are so many other cool places to visit in Utah off-the-beaten-path you may not have even heard of. They are just as spectacular as the main attractions in Utah and often involve greater adventure – mostly because there is a significant less amount of people to share it with.
