Buffalo, NY – May
2021 / Newsmaker Alert /
Americans
are dusting off their bucket lists ahead of summer travel season, and iconic
natural destinations such as Yosemite, Yellowstone and Grand Canyon National
Parks are high on their lists. ExploreBetter.com
is an online lifestyle platform that can simplify travel planning and make
extraordinary outdoor adventures more accessible to first-time and even
experienced National Park and other outdoor enthusiasts.
ExploreBetter.com
shares trip planning destination insights, accommodations, activities and
inspiration featuring Grand Canyon, Olympic, Sequoia and Kings Canyon,
Yellowstone and Yosemite National Parks as well as New York’s Niagara Falls
State Park. In addition to crowd-pleasing activities such as guided tours
and other sightseeing suggestions, ExploreBetter.com is also the place
for inside tips on active adventures like rock climbing, fishing and stargazing
as well as romantic, wellness-oriented and even pet-friendly activities.
With content curated by site publisher and long-time National Park concessionaire Delaware North, ExploreBetter.com draws on insider knowledge of the parks and surrounding regions. The site plans to include contributions from members of the Bay Area Travel Writers, one of the oldest regional professional travel journalist organizations in the country, in the near future. “First-time
visits to National Parks can be overwhelming, and even seasoned visitors
need fresh ideas. We’re simplifying travel planning so first-time visitors
can plan with confidence and experienced visitors can always find new and
exciting reasons to return,” explained Andy Grinsfelder, vice president
of sales and marketing for Delaware
North’s parks and resorts division. “As partners in the stewardship
of many of these iconic destinations, we want visitors to experience unforgettable
moments and forge deeper connections, not just with one another, but with
their surroundings.”
With 2020 National Park visitation down by roughly 90 million visitors due to pandemic travel restrictions, ExploreBetter.com is intended to help encourage and restore responsible and sustainable visitation to National Parks and other iconic destinations. An upswing in National Park visitation was seen in data collected by U.S. Travel beginning in the spring of 2021, which fits with research that shows Americans continue to desire leisure trips to outdoor locations that are safe, socially distant and allow them to relax, disconnect, spend time with family and have new experiences. At the lodging properties it operates, Delaware North last year implemented its Rest Assured Commitment to Care comprehensive health and safety program, including re-engineered operating procedures to minimize contact risk and bolstered hygiene protocols aligned with guidelines of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
