Visitors Guide

The 2013 Visitors Guide is a 50-page, full-color magazine that features a central theme of celebrating a number of important Albany County milestones and special events, including:

 

 

Fitting with one of the central celebrations, the cover photo features the King Memorial Fountain surrounded by Albany residents enjoying the warm weather and beautiful flowers in Albany's historic Washington Park. Inside, readers will find stories by some other Albany residents: Maeve McEneny, Nicole Lemperle Correia, Ann Wendth, and Schuyler Bull.

The Albany Visitors Guide is the main brochure sent to travelers seeking information about Albany. It is also the primary source of information that is made available to meeting and convention attendees. 125,000 copies of the Visitors Guide will be distributed throughout the year. In addition to the print guide, an interactive Online Guide will soon be available through www.discoveralbany.org. The Guide was published by Slocum-Wander Publishing.
