The Group Travel Leader is taking a trip to Kentucky, and we want you to come with us!
Our friends at the Kentucky Department of Tourism are arranging a familiarization tour of several cities and towns throughout the state, and they’re inviting our travel planner readers to attend. The tour will take place in late spring of 2025. Destinations have yet to be finalized, but attendees can expect to spend several days enjoying the culture, natural beauty, history and cuisine of the Bluegrass State.
You’ll join Rachel Crick, our staff writer, and Kyle Anderson, our VP of sales and marketing, as they explore the area with our Kentucky hosts.
Groups visiting Kentucky can look forward to signature experiences such as:
• Thoroughbred horse racing — Catch the excitement live at Louisville’s Churchill Downs and Lexington’s Keeneland Race Course.
• Bourbon distilleries — Tour historic distilleries and taste Kentucky’s favorite spirit in destinations such as Bardstown and Frankfort.
• Arts and artisans — Find the work of quilters, craftsmen and more in inspiring towns such as Paducah and Berea.
• Signature museums — Learn the history of America’s favorite sports car at Bowling Green’s National Corvette Museum or explore the deep at Newport Aquarium in Northern Kentucky.
• Natural attractions — Marvel at wonders such as Mammoth Cave and the Red River Gorge.
Your hotel accommodations, meals, admissions and other expenses will be hosted by the Kentucky Department of Tourism. Participants are responsible for their own travel to and from the state.
You can apply to attend this FAM tour at grouptravelleader.com/ky-fam. Space is limited, and applications close March 1. If you have any questions, call Kyle at 859-253-0455.
