Angels Camp Launches It's First-Ever Marketing Brochure
Angels Camp, CA...Distribution began today of a new travel brochure and map that describes the 49 best things to do and see within a 2 ½ hour radius of Angels Camp. The brochure’s title plays on State Route 49, also known as the ‘Golden Chain Highway’, that runs north–south through California’s famed Gold Country in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada range. Angels Camp is centrally located along the 295-mile route and draws visitors from all over the world. With Lake Tahoe and Yosemite National Park just 2 ½ hours away, Angels Camp is becoming the ‘base camp’ for Sierra mountain activities...
The brochure was developed by Destination Angels Camp (DAC), the public-private partnership that handles economic development for the City of Angels Camp.
Anne Forrest, Destination Angels Camp’s president, presented the first brochures to the City Council at its meeting last night, December 17th. “We are delighted that Angels Camp now has its own marketing brochure,” she said. “Tourism is the number one industry in the area and is growing annually. Angels Camp with its abundance of lodging, dining and shopping deserves to have a brochure that highlights all that the city and surrounding areas have to offer. We think that residents will also find it interesting.”
“49 Things to Do” contains a map of the area along with a list of the 49 most popular activities in the area – from B - beer drinking through to Z - zip lining. Each of the 49 activities contains a sub list of local locations, service providers and shops along with full contact details.
The brochure also gives a quick overview of the history, lifestyle and natural surroundings of Angels Camp, as well as a sample 2-day itinerary. All the photos in the brochure are of actual locations and activities in the area. No ‘stock’ shots were used. Local photographers who contributed their work to the brochure include Rick Harray, Dick James, Tim Saunders, Jason Smith, Josh Steck, Tasha Unninayar, Patrick Works and Lisa Boulton, plus Ian Andreae of Renegade Magazine.
Lisa Boulton, executive director of the Calaveras County Visitors Bureau, says: “I am excited that the Destination Angels Camp map brochure is now ready. It’s been a long time coming… but that has only served to ensure that it’s of the highest quality, not only from a marketing standpoint, but also from a visitor usefulness and engagement perspective.
“I am confident the brochure will help to drive more tourism business to Angels Camp and the surrounding area and congratulate Destination Angels Camp on a job well done.”
Brochures will be available at the Visitors Center, on tourism racks throughout Calaveras County, and at Angels Camp post offices and City offices. The brochure will soon be available on www.GoCalaveras.com, www.DestinationAngelsCamp.com and www.AngelsCampFun.com .
