"Microcations" Around Charlotte
Wednesday, June 10, 2009

Listen Now

With the economy still sluggish and gas prices on the rise, many people are avoiding vacation plans that involve a lot of travel. That doesn't mean they can't go on vacation though, because Mecklenburg county experts say there is plenty to do within a very short radius of Charlotte. We'll explore the idea of "microcations." Local residents can go camping, see Shakespeare, visit museums, jump from airplanes or a variety of other recreational options. Our experts help us vacation in our own backyard.

Guests

Laura Hill - Marketing and Communications Coordinator, Visit Charlotte

Darcy Grimes - AAA Carolinas

Lynn Saul - Public Information Officer, Meck. Co. Park & Recreation
