“The growth and evolution of our Official State Travel Guide has contributed to Georgia’s strongest tourism economy ever,” said Georgia Department of Economic Development Chief Marketing Officer Mark Jaronski. “The communities featured on the covers of our travel guide represent Georgia’s unique and diverse range of experiences and geographies, and inspire travelers of various types and interests to discover so many more beach, mountain, small town, rural, and city destinations throughout the guide.”
