Arkansas Tourism Launches New Green Travel Website

The Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism has launched www.greentravelarkansas.com. This new website contains sections featuring Arkansas green lodging, dining, and attractions including a list of LEED certified buildings. Looking toward the individual traveler, a section offering ideas to help the tourist find wellness options such as yoga studios and running trails is also included. The department has even added a tool to help visitors find special promotions offering green discounts and packages by clicking on the Arkansas Green Deals and Packages tab.

"We added this to our website offerings because of the growing interest in eco-friendly travel. Consumers understand that protecting the Earth's resources applies to everywhere they visit and not just in their home cities," said Dena Woerner, communications manager for the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism.
This new website provides a quick reference for business travelers as well as vacationers and will make green travel through Arkansas easier. "It is a perfect fit for the Natural State to highlight green tourism options," said Woerner. Eco-conscious travelers need only to browse through this website to select the perfect place to stay, eat, shop, and play. Businesses interested in being listed on www.greentravelarkansas.com and in offering green deals and packages should contact the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism at 501-682-7602 or email the department at [email protected].
