The spirit of travel… It’s a simple phrase, but it speaks volumes during our current times.
There’s no doubt that 2020 has been a year unlike any other in history. That’s why for National Travel and Tourism Week, May 3-9, The Natural State is embracing digital travel, rallying around this year’s theme of the “Spirit of Travel.” You can even take a virtual tour of Arkansas at www.arkansas.com/virtualtours.
Visiting new places can inspire, energize and refresh the human spirit. Not only that, travel contributes a significant economic impact for communities small and large all across The Natural State. When residents embrace the spirit of travel by supporting local businesses and helping their neighbors, they are also playing a key role in rebuilding their community and America. The travel and tourism industry is integral to our nation’s recovery—for the economy and American jobs. It is the spirit of travel that will heal our country’s morale.
I am proud to celebrate the spirit of Arkansas this week. From the mountains of the Ozarks and Ouachitas, to the rich cultural heritage of Arkansas’s Delta region, to our bountiful waterways, The Natural State has proven its moniker time and time again.
