Ford (dec) Jun 29th Paula Bohaty Nebraska Travel and Tourism Paula Bohaty, Group Tours with the Nebraska Department of Economic Develeopment, Travel and Tourism Divison spoke to us last Wednesday. Everyone present received the 2011 Nebraska Travel Guide below. Paula is well traveled in her position and is very informed with all of the state wide activities that were enhanced with her input. We traveled from the flooding in the east and were told of the latest conditions from Niobrara, Sioux City, Blair, Omaha, Plattsmouth, Brownville to Falls City. Things are not looking very good all along the Missouri River. She has seen most of it on the ground and in the air. She reviewed the way the Guide is divided up for a more efficient use. The seven regions shown gives one a compact approach for planning your trips and vacations. She was excited to explain that all this information is available on your mobile devices. One can visit the Nebraska Tourism s mobile website for all images desired while you are on the go. You can also download and then watch videos at VisitNebraska.gov. The guide is shaded with entries throughout as they are the advertising partners. There are keys for all of the symbols one notices. Here is a fine Guide for strangers and friends.
