Northeast Kingdom Travel Planner
A dramatic redesign of the Northeast Kingdom Travel Planner is scheduled for 2009! The new Planner will be completely reconstructed to be an annual piece that showcases our various marketing communities. The planner will boast new offerings, such as a detailed events calendar and self guided tours, to make it a more effective planning tool. Each year more than 30,000 planners are distributed around the globe.
