The new guide is one of the first in the nation to feature all crowd-sourced content, with a heavy focus on Mountain State experiences through the lens of social media. The guide features stories, pictures, blog posts, video and more – all curated from Real. West Virginia experiences.
“This year’s travel guide provides folks with everything they need to plan an adventure in the Mountain State, showcasing the exciting and authentic experiences that can be found here,” said Commissioner of Tourism Amy Shuler Goodwin. “Using the ‘Real. Stories’ included in this year’s guide gives readers a firsthand look into Wild, Wonderful West Virginia.”
The 2017 Official State Travel Guide features a father and son hiking in Canaan Valley on the cover. The guide is divided into nine geographic travel regions and offers suggestions for outdoor recreation; craft beer, wine and spirits; dining; entertainment; and more. A 2017 calendar of events is listed in the back of the guide.
