Every Tuesday until we run out of states, I plan to post about family-friendly vacation ideas, attractions and events in each one of the US states, taking input mostly from Twitter and Facebook.
Yes, I know how to search for travel ideas on a destination or attraction Web site, but a tweet or a Facebook Wall recommendation is a much more engaging and public way to spread the word.
Please don’t email suggestions to me; that’s nice but it is one-to-one communication. Tweet me and/or Facebook me, so that all of our networks can see what’s cool about your state.
We’re going in alphabetical order but started with the end, so our first state for the series was Wyoming, then we investigated Wisconsin , West Virginia , Washington, Virginia, Vermont and now we’re moving on to….Utah!
I could not find their state tourism organization on Twitter. I did find@UtahStateParks, the St. George/Zion National Parks (@UtahTraveler) and @MeetInSaltLake (the Salt Lake City Convention and Visitor’s Bureau) and would also like to mention @PCSki which represents the Park City Mountain Resort. Although @PCSki is a commercial Twitter account, I met one if its tweeters (@krista_parry) this year and was impressed with her passion for Park City and winter sports.
Utah state tourism is not on Facebook (that I could find.)
When I asked for ideas, here’s what came in….
