Even in this digital age, there's nothing like a printed piece to attract the adventurer. Besides being displayed in all Virginia Welcome Centers and Certified Visitor Information Centers, you'll find them in hotels, motels & tourism related businesses along all Interstate travel routes in five states. The Heart of Appalachia also takes them to major tradeshows nationwide and mails out tens of thousands in answer to direct phone, email, and social media requests.
