Bowling Green Recognized by National Geographic

National Geographic

National Geographic recently named Bowling Green a Top 10 All-American City in its new book “World’s Best Cities: Celebrating 220 Destinations.” 

Bowling Green was picked because it’s home to the Corvette. Telia Butler with the Bowling Green Area Convention and Visitors Bureau says the designation gives the city more international acclaim.

"National Geographic is such a major news outlet.  People all over the world look to National Geographic for information on places to go visit, usually exotic or unique places.  This will put Bowling Green on the map for people who may not have considered coming here before."

Louisville was the only other Kentucky city featured in the publication.  Louisville was named a Top to Food city because of the Brown Hotel, home to the famous Hot Brown.
