National Travel & Tourism Week
Congress established National Travel and Tourism Week (NTTW) in 1983 to encourage and celebrate travel while highlighting the value travel creates for local economies and personal health.
Travel looks different for everyone. It could be travelling for a few hours to visit family for the holidays, or it could mean flying half-way across the country to experience otherworldly views from the top of a mountain. But the commonality for any kind of traveling is creating memories.
We appreciate you. Our guests and visitors add to the spirit of the community.
Your enthusiasm and love for our towns create a joy in the air that is felt by all. Thank you!
We are so excited to celebrate National Travel and Tourism Week with YOU!

Every destination has a story to tell and some unique element that makes their community special. NTTW is an amazing opportunity to discover what sets Columbus apart from any other county in the world! And it starts with two words – Discover Columbus.
While traveling on Interstate 65, you can’t miss this message; carved into the grass, welcoming locals and visitors alike – Discover Columbus. Columbus is an improbable town. Every year thousands of visitors arrive to explore the streets and study the buildings, for it is one of the rare places on earth where the idea that architecture and art can improve the human condition has been put to the test.

“I was in Columbus for an unexpected day off. I am very glad to report that I took both the Architectural Tour and the tour of the Miller House. Both were extremly informative and very good. Both guides enthusiastic and knowledgeable. If you only have time for one, I would recommend the Archetectural Tour….more variety and history about why all these magnificent structures are in one town. VERY enjoyable!”
