Abilene Promotes Late-Summer Tourism to Historic Attractions
Visit Abilene, the city's tourism organization, is encouraging travelers to consider the central Kansas town for end-of-summer trips. The campaign highlights Abilene's location along Interstate 70 and its range of historical and cultural attractions.
Among the destinations promoted are sites related to President Dwight D. Eisenhower, the state's Official State Heritage Railroad, Old West exhibits, historic homes, and locally owned shops and museums. The city has received national recognition as a small-town travel destination.
The tourism push is part of a broader campaign using the slogan "America Likes Abilene," which coincides with travel activity during the final weeks of summer. Abilene is marketed as a destination for both day trips and weekend visits.
