DiscoverAmerica Wants Your Dollars to Stay in the States
Sick and tired of Americans traveling abroad for culture, food and activity when the good old homeland has it too, the United States has they launched a new website in hopes of keeping all those summer vacation dollars in the nifty fifty: DiscoverAmerica.com. Previously, they’ve used the “discover” theme to attract visitors from overseas, but this new site is focused on those keeping it local this year, for better or for worse.
All the juicy details of America’s finest offerings can be found through integration with the National Park Service, and Google Maps will help you plan a city-to-city road trip. Once you’ve found your dream vacation or experience here at home, the site will be happy to help you spend your hard earned cash through links to all the usual travel booking sites.
We admit to liking the stories section of the site, where domestic tourists can upload their vacation pictures, and even share some anecdotes from their trips—it's like the 21st century version of watching your grandparents vacation slides. The activity finder allows you to pick what you want to do and where and when you want to do it. This feature is hardly revolutionary, but it’s a good start for those that have been everywhere.
Just remember that there’s like 3,000 museums, festivals, and parks that are hoping that you’ll pick them for you vacation, so start narrowing it down now.
