Fodor's Travel Talk Forums - Free National Geographic Travel Map of Newfoundland

Folks-- The National Geographic Travel Map of Newfoundland is out.

CapeRace was the co-founder of the National Geographic Newfoundland MapGuide project. We partnered with National Geographic Society along with Parks Canada, Candian Parks & Wilderness Society, The City of St. John's and the Department of Tourism Culture & Recreation to capture the history and heritage of Eastern Newfoundland through a spectacular National Geographic Map.

The gorgeous 2ft x 3ft double-sided print map is the same high quality we've grown to expect from National Geographic..

The project seeks to celebrate the Eastern Newfoundland region as a world-class destination, while contributing to the economic health of the region by promoting sustainable tourism.

History buffs and adventurers, backpackers and foodies, birders and sightseers can discover unique destinations based on recommendations from those who know best—residents of the Eastern Newfoundland region.

Order your FREE map here. It's a great peek into the Newfoundland culture and a fantastic souvenir for those that love maps. (note- there is a nominal postage and handling charge)

Here's how it works:

Eastern Newfoundland residents and visitors, community organizations, tourism stakeholders and local businesses nominate sites for inclusion in a print MapGuide. Unlike any other mapping project, a favorite local restaurant, farm, winery, hiking or biking trail, swimming hole, museum or artist gallery are samples of the type of nominations National Geographic and its project partners will be seeking. The map targets a variety of growing travel niches—adventure and nature tourism, cultural heritage, travel, and hospitality—and allow for residents to select the one-of-a-kind places integral to a distinctive character of place.
