Jefferson City, Mo. – Stunning. Beautiful. Unique. Exquisite.
Those are a few of the words used to describe the new Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts in Kansas City, which was chosen to represent the Show-Me State on the cover of the 2012 Official Missouri Travel Guide, published by the Missouri Division of Tourism (MDT).
The 2012 Official Missouri Travel Guide, a 160-page travel companion with information on everything from attractions and must-see sites to lodging options and regional maps, now is available.
Although we’re still a few weeks away from the official start of winter, now is a great time to start planning your summer vacation. The Official Missouri Travel Guide can help; you can pick it up at a variety of locations across Missouri, including MDT’s seven Official Welcome Centers, MDT’s Affiliate Welcome Centers, local chambers of commerce, and convention and visitors bureaus. If you’d like to order a copy of the 2012 Official Missouri Travel Guide, you can do so online at VisitMO.com, and by calling 800-519-4800.
“Although we live in an era of smart phones and GPS devices, there’s something comforting about having the printed Travel Guide to carry along with you on a trip,” says Katie Steele Danner, director of the Missouri Division of Tourism. “Our Travel Guide offers information about the unique and affordable places for visitors to enjoy in Missouri, whether they’re interested in the outdoors or museums, or just looking for a place to spend a quiet weekend.”
In addition to listings of tourism-related businesses around Missouri, the Travel Guide features dozens of color photos showcasing the state’s tourism assets. There are also area feature stories on each of Missouri’s five vacation regions: Northwest, Northeast, Central, Southeast and Southwest, along with stories related to live entertainment venues, things you may not know about Missouri, and destinations that feature ziplines, scuba diving and haunted sites.
