TravelTex Launches New Website

TravelTex just launched a new website with improved graphics and new features. Visitors to the site will find improved navigation and search functions, as well as enhanced visual presentation.

One new feature is a series of webisodes, including one titled “Elevating Vacations to An Art Form” which highlights the Houston Museum District. This district recently joined the Texas Commission on the Arts’ Cultural District program. There are also webisodes on the Hill Country, Gulf Coast and South Texas Plains regions.  Panhandle, Prairies & Lakes, and Piney Woods regions are in pre-production with more coming soon. These online videos do a great job showcasing Texas and its culture.

Another improvement to the site is the incorporation of Google Maps into the Trip Planner feature. Looking ahead, TravelTex will offer both iPhone and Blackberry applications making it even easier to find all that is happening in Texas.

This is wonderful news for travelers to and within our state. It also provides an even better opportunity for Texas artists and arts organizations to promote themselves. Events submitted to the Texas Events Calendar are automatically included in the TravelTex online events calendar. That makes it simple for anyone interested in the arts to find events and include them in an itinerary using the Trip Planner.
