Leave your comfort zone.
This one is so easy, especially when you take a vacation! Try to leave your comfort zone a little bit this year and visit somewhere you’ve never been in the Smokies. Whether that’s a new hiking trail or a new restaurant, step away from your vacation routine and try something different!
Use all of your vacation days.
Do you know that 50% of paid vacation days go unused? It’s crazy! Use those paid days and take a couple of days to spend in the Smoky Mountains where you can recharge and relax before heading back to work.
Eat local.
There’s really no better way to eat than eating locally! When you visit the Smokies, there’s dozens of restaurants that are locally owned and operated, and they’re perfect for trying something new!
Take a look at all of our Smoky Mountain restaurants to help you decide on the perfect place to eat!
Meet new people.
Each year, many people commit to meeting new people, and there’s no better place to do that than the Smokies! The Southern hospitality runs strong in East Tennessee and you’ll find that it’s really easy to meet new people and make new friends all over the area!
