Arizona Office of Tourism
MARCH 2, 2007. The Arizona Office of Tourism (AOT) has just released the 2007 Official State Visitor's Guide and Map (OSVG). In keeping with tradition of previous editions, the 2007 OSVG continues to be the best resource for visitors planning to come to the Grand Canyon State by offering information on Arizona state parks, hotel accommodations, golf courses, spas, events, family adventure opportunities and much more. The theme of this year's Guide is Inspiring Unforgettable Southwest Moments.
AOT made several enhancements to the 2007 OSVG in order to accommodate for easier and more intuitive travel planning. The most significant upgrade is the Guide's new magazine format, which features first-hand stories written by travel writers about the many unique experiences visitors can find in Arizona. Another noteworthy change to the Guide is the addition of several themed sections to help capture the imaginations of potential and repeat visitors to Arizona. The themed sections feature information on statewide events, sightseeing opportunities, outdoor activities and culinary experiences. The Guide also offers tips on how to take the perfect photograph, such as the best angle or the best time of day, for some of Arizona's amazing scenery. There are also tips on what, where and how to buy items such as a Navajo blanket.
The OSVG is written and laid out so the reader can obtain a sense of the state's unexpectedly exhilarating signature scenery, open-air lifestyle and timeless discoveries. The Guide also offers a "Smart Traveler" section featuring "How to get here" and "How to get around while you're here" information.
"Once again, we are proud to offer this valuable resource to our visitors and partners across the Grand Canyon State," said Margie A. Emmermann, Director of the Arizona Office of Tourism. "This year's OSVG is a powerful source of information that offers visitors a look at Arizona's vibrant variety through our scenery and cultural diversity."
