Join the STS Road Map to More Visitors
Maps are a top request at visitor bureaus and hotel hangouts! TRIPinfo.com’s popular STS map gives travelers the quality road map they want, without paying $6.95 or more.

FACT: Did you know that travelers keep detail fold-out road maps 6-7 years?
With 500,000 maps your message will be in the hands of travelers planning their trips for years to come.

That is an investment bought and paid for still giving year after year. Think of it like Rock City painting barns.. each year they painted more barns, and each year their investment became cumulative in impact! And now, TRIPinfo.com is willing to bonus quarter (1/4) page ads in their greatly expanded TRIPinfo.com Resource Atlas & Handbook to convince you to participate! Proceeds fund the STS Education Foundation for annual college tourism scholarships. Contact: Mark Browning 770-825-0220 x221 / mark@tripinfo.com.
More than just a useful tool, an important resource & reference guide…

With contact information of the STS membership (now over 900) of CVBs, attractions, accommodations, tour operators and other industry related businesses. And, once again this year the directory includes (poly wrapped) our consumer travel guide (Escape to the Southeast).

The travel guide carries the banner for the STS consumer message – “Escape to the Southeast” and features our destinations, attractions and accommodations; it has become an essential, and often requested, tool to travelers interested in the region. Open the magazine to any page, and you will find it filled with valuable information on our 12-state region specific to resort destinations, activities for children, lodging, special events and much more.

Delivered into the hands of 125,000 drive market focused consumers through direct mail, distribution through trade shows, travel providers like Amtrak, at AAA offices and other consumer oriented outlets, the reach of your message is multiplied many times over. Of course, marketing must be balanced – achieved through our award winning consumer website: www.EscapetotheSoutheast.com and exceptional promotion by each of our participants in the co-op advertising offered by STS. Together, well over 80 million consumers are enticed to “Escape” to the southeast.

Please consider either publication in your next advertising schedule. Positive Energy, Inc.; 404-256-5733; lhalpern@bellsouth.net
