Carlsbad CVB Publishes New Visitors Guide in Time for Summer Travel Planning

Free visitors guide offers a fresh new look for potential visitors.

(PRWEB) May 17, 2007 -- Here comes the summer season! Like a train full speed, it never slows, not for one second. But, the Carlsbad Convention and Visitors Bureau (www.visitcarlsbad.com) is ready for the arrival of tourists to the city with the announcement that its annual visitors guide has just been published. The full-sized glossy visitors guide is packed with essential information about Carlsbad. The guide is free and is an excellent reference for vacation planning, day trips or for local residents preparing for the influx of summer houseguests.

For potential visitors in the planning mode, the guide directs you on “how to” information such as getting to Carlsbad by air, rail or car. It covers local transportation and information for travelers wanting to visit Mexico. A temperature guide will help make decisions on what to pack much easier.

Features include: “Carlsbad History,” “Our Beaches,” “The Lagoons,” “Hiking & Walking Trails,” “Dining & Nightlife,” “Shopping,” “Carlsbad Golf,” and the diverse selection of accommodations, that Carlsbad enjoys. For vacationers with a little more time, “Regional Attractions” helps travelers explore a bit more of the area.

The innovative 40-page magazine formatted guide is filled with user-friendly information, maps, beautiful photography and events. It’s all there to assist visitors in making the most of their visit, whether the trip is to reconnect with family, to tour the attractions or just to relax and rejuvenate on a quiet, sandy spot on the beach.

Research shows Internet savvy consumers are increasingly seeking travel-planning information online after they have already chosen their destination. This year’s annual guide is available in its entirety, an alternative to ordering the printed version, in digital format at www.visitcarlsbad.com.

The Official Carlsbad Visitors Guide is the primary marketing fulfillment piece representing Carlsbad and will be mailed to fill all requests resulting from the bureau’s ads, online requests or by telephone. The guide will be distributed at travel shows attended by the bureau, at the concierge’s desk in local hotels and the Carlsbad Visitor Information Center. Distribution to select California Welcome Centers will be handled by Certified Folder Display Services, Inc. A supply of the new guide will be readily available at the Visitors Information Center at 400 Carlsbad Village Drive, Carlsbad,CA92008
