ATLANTA --
MAPSouth Publishing has just released the 33rd edition of The
Atlanta Street MAP and Visitor Guide. The popular MAP is avaailable
for free to Atlanta visitors, newcomers and residents and includes
an easy to read, detailed map of the metro Atlanta area, plus
inset maps of Buckhead, Downtown and Midtown.
Since 1991,
The Atlanta Street MAP and Visitor Guide has been a key tool in
attracting and assisting metro area visitors. It’s the only
Atlanta map given out at the state’s Visitor Information
Centers, and can be accessed either on-line at www.mapatlanta.com
or through the Atlanta Convention and Visitors Bureau and www.georgia.org
by those planning their visit to the city.
“According
to the annual economic report of the Travel Industry Association
of America, tourism expenditures in Georgia were up 7.7 percent
in 2005 over the previous year,” said Christopher Huber,
president of MAPSouth. “The state of Georgia has implemented
its ‘Put your Dreams in Motion’ marketing campaign
and the city of Atlanta is reaching out to the Southeast region
with its ‘Brand Atlanta’ effort. At the same time,
Delta Air Lines is launching new direct flights to and from Hartsfield-Jackson
International Airport. I think it’s safe to say Atlanta
is experiencing an exciting tourism renaissance,” he said.
MAPSouth
Publishing distributes one million Atlanta MAPS each year. The
Atlanta Street MAP and Visitor Guide can be picked up at over
150 metro hotels and motels, all of the state’s Visitor
Information Centers, concierge services, the Atlanta Airport,
Post Apartment Homes, local universities, attractions, shopping
centers, restaurants, area Convention and Visitors Bureaus and
Chambers of Commerce, car rental firms and more. It includes suggested
itineraries, discount admission coupons and premiums, MARTA information,
a shopping guide, and location and hours of operation for many
of the city’s restaurants, attractions, shops and hotels.
“As
we look ahead to the summer travel season, we see crowds continuing
to pour into the new Georgia Aquarium and the restaurants and
shops of Atlantic Station,” said Jon Brasher, vice president
of sales for MAPSouth. “Established attractions like the
recently expanded High Museum of Art and the Atlanta History Center’s
new Centennial Olympic Games Museum make Atlanta an even more
popular tourist destination. The MAP is a valuable tool for people
coming to see these and the city’s other cultural attractions,
since it not only shows where everything is located, but provides
valuable discounts,” he said.
“The
new MAP features the World of Coca-Cola on the cover,” Brasher
continued. “Inside, readers will find information on The
Varsity, MARTA, the Mall at Peachtree Center, Hard Rock Café,
Stone Mountain Park, CNN, the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum,
and Underground Atlanta, among many others. Some of these advertisers
have appeared in every edition of the MAP since its inception
– a total of about 17 million MAPS in the past 15 years.
We are also pleased to welcome our newest advertisers, Atlantic
Station and Babette’s Café, as well as welcome back
Classic Chastain and Mary Mac’s Tea Room.,” he added.
In addition
to The Atlanta Street MAP and Visitor Guide, MAPSouth Publishing
produces The Charlotte Street MAP and Visitor Guide, The Nashville
Street MAP and Visitor Guide, The Cobb/Marietta and Gwinnett Convention
and Visitors Bureau Official MAPS and numerous specialty MAPS.
The company is headquartered in Decatur, Ga.
