The Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) and the National Geographic Society today announced the release of a new Appalachian Driving Tours Map. Commissioned by ARC, the map features 28 driving trails in the Appalachian Region that lead to a broad array of historical, archaeological, cultural, and scenic sites.
The driving tours map is the result of an alliance between ARC and National Geographic to design maps that will stimulate economic development by showcasing the remarkable diversity of the Appalachian Region’s natural and heritage assets.
Supplemented with colorful photos, descriptive text, and detailed information for travelers, the map has been distributed to 865,000 subscribers in the April 2008 issue of National Geographic Traveler magazine as well as to other target audiences in the Region.

Map readers are encouraged to “visit Appalachia” online through the Web site www.visitappalachia.com. The site includes downloadable maps of the 28 driving tours, Google map features to help travelers plan their next driving vacation to Appalachia, and links to the 13 Appalachian state tourism offices for additional information.
