nominations for the 2009 list of Dozen Distinctive Destinations(r)
The National Trust for Historic Preservation is now accepting
nominations for its list of 2009 Dozen Distinctive Destinations(r).
Since 2000, the National Trust for Historic Preservation has annually
selected communities across the United States that offer cultural and
recreational experiences different from the typical vacation
destination. From dynamic downtowns and stunning architecture to
cultural diversity and commitments to historic preservation, the
selected destinations boast a richness of character and exude an
authentic sense of place. To date, there are 108 Distinctive
Destinations located in 42 states throughout the country. Visit
www.PreservationNation.org/ddd to view the online archive, distinctive
destinations toolkit, etc.
Nominations are open to Convention & Visitors Bureaus (CVB) and Chambers
of Commerce (COC) across the country. Individuals are encouraged to
contact their local CVB or COC to encourage the submission of a
nomination for this annual heritage tourism program. There is a $150
nomination fee. Visit
