Destination Maryland 2019 is Here
 

Produced by the Maryland Office of Tourism Destination Maryland is an inspirational travel guide that combines stunning photography and stories written by Maryland writers. This year’s edition features adventures to be had all around the Chesapeake Bay region, as well as in Western Maryland’s mountains, a guide to Maryland craft beverages, road trip suggestions along our 18 scenic byways, a guide to Maryland water experiences, amusement parks, restaurants and more.

“As Marylanders, we want to share our state’s beauty, fun places to go and great people to meet,” said Liz Fitzsimmons, Managing Director for Tourism, Film and the Arts. “The hardest part of producing a project like this is trying to limit our selections to just 148 pages. We invite residents and visitors alike to see for themselves what an amazing time they can have in Maryland.” Destination Maryland is available for free at Maryland Welcome Centers, and can be ordered at VisitMaryland.org.

Civil War Trails Program Goes Green with 100 Percent Recyclable Materials
 
 
   
While the Civil War Trails program interprets the past, it is committed to a bright and sustainable future. In pursuit of that goal, every product that Trails produces is now recyclable. The innovative printing process enables old acrylics to be recycled back into new sheeting. The engineering of proprietary pedestals allows them to be reused and extend the life of existing infrastructure. Trails has been recognized by both the Maryland Green Registry and Virginia Green Tourism for these efforts and innovations.
