Frommer's Top Must-See Travel Destinations of 2007 includes Asheville, heralded for its thriving cultural and arts scenes and its scenic Blue Ridge Parkway drives. Asheville is one of just a dozen top travel destinations in the world.
Asheville has joined the likes of Tokyo and Zurich as a must-see destination for world travelers, according to Frommer's Top Travel Destinations of 2007. Asheville is the only destination in the Southeast on the list compiled by one of the most respected names in travel writing.
"This year, editors at Frommer's Travel Guides and www.Frommers.com scoured the globe and polled our stable of authors and experts to identify a mix of surprising, thriving, or emerging travel destinations," said Kelly Regan, editorial director of Frommer's.
In its praise of Asheville, the Frommer's list states:
"Located in the Smoky Mountains, Asheville is a small college town with a thriving arts & culture scene. It is home to the Biltmore Estate, the Thomas Wolfe Memorial, and Carl Sandburg's birthplace in nearby Flat Rock. Recently, Asheville has been drawing literati and celebrities who had gravitated to New Orleans as a hub of culture. With the Blue Ridge Parkway nearby, the area is also great for driving tours and shopping trips to numerous crafts and pottery shops.
