“Exhilarating” is the best word I can conjure up to describe my first Adventure Travel Trade Association conference experience this week. There is nothing quite like spending time with 300 outdoor industry professionals from 37 countries, connecting and sharing perspectives about conservation and authentic outdoor travel that benefits local communities. Notably, this year’s ATTA conference was their first conference held in the southeastern U.S. - hosted in beautiful Asheville, NC. Day 1 - Day of Adventure: Rafting on the French Broad River with Nantahala Outdoor Center 🌊 So happy to have met some new friends from across the country and globe. Needless to say, my travel bucket list has grown significantly…🌍 Note: Brought my bike and enjoyed Asheville’s riverwalk along the French Broad River, with fabulous designated bike lanes! 🚴 #AdventureELEVATE #ATTA #AENorthAmerica24 #VisitAsheville #OutdoorNC #BikeTN
