Tourism in the state of California is a $100 million annual business, driving employment for 100,000 residents, and producing $6 billion in state and local taxes, so it makes sense that the California Travel & Tourism Commission (CTTC) would create a brochure worthy of promoting everything that makes the state of California great. Accordingly, the CTTC has just launched its 2009 California State Visitor's Guide and Travel Planner, a no-cost complete manual to inspire visitors and assist them with their travel plans for their next California visits. The latest version has been created with the glossy appeal of a travel magazine, yet with the practicality of a guide manual. Inside you’ll find maps and photos with accompanying articles that serve to showcase the diversity and wonder of California.
Inside the new 224 page guide you’ll find the elements that make California special, with city travel guides such as the San Francisco Bay Area with all of the sightseeing attractions commonly associated with it such as Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman’s Wharf, Alcatraz, cable cars, farm lands, beaches, mountains, and wine country with its local wineries. The guide covers California’s twelve regions of distinction with more connections between the 2009 guide and the CTTC’s online presence: www.VisitCalifornia.com. The hardcopy version of the new publication can be obtained over the phone at 1-877-California, but by February 2009, the same publication can be accessed online for a greener approach befitting the state of California, at www.VisitCalifornia.com.
