REGIONAL 2025 MESSAGING
Towns and counties across the NC High Country are collaborating on collective messaging in 2025: Our Mountains are Open – Come on Up!
This message will confirm for potential visitors that local places have bounced back and are ready to welcome them! Look for this messaging from Blowing Rock, Boone, Banner Elk, Ashe County and others, and please echo it in your own promotions! This can include ads, social media posts and stories, customer emails, or any other communications.
Examples:
Our Mountains are Open! We’ve bounced back and can’t wait to welcome you- come on up!
Our Mountains are Open – Come on up! All major attractions are open, all major roads are open, and our local businesses are excited to welcome you!
With these messages, share BlowingRock.com as a resource to plan a trip to Blowing Rock. Or share VisitNCHighCountry.com as a place to find updated activities across the region.

A graphic has been created to collectively celebrate our forward momentum and our bounce back from Hurricane Helene! Here are a couple of versions below; feel free to share or include in your promotions.
OUTDOOR NC RESOURCES
Blowing Rock is a proud member of the Outdoor NC Partner Alliance. Through this program, the TDA staff is learning more about how to communicate good stewardship ideals to our visitors and businesses. It’s vital that we all step up and do our part to protect and preserve the places we love, from Blowing Rock parks to lands on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
As a Blowing Rock business, you have access to some of the great resources made available through our partnership with Visit NC and Outdoor NC. Below, find printable posters, some excellent resources for sustainability in business, and even a Leave No Trace training program (a great refresher even if you’re familiar)!
Sustainable Business Resources
Outdoor NC has compiled some excellent resources for us all: A Global Trends Report and a comprehensive Sustainable Business Resource guide. Share this information with your employees, managers, and any stakeholders in your business.

Resources to Share
We have a special section of this website dedicated to responsible and accessible recreation. Visitors will find details on Leave No Trace Principles, plus some simple guides for those new to exploring our area.
There’s also some information about the accessibility of popular locations and attractions to help folks decide how to plan for their trip.
This set of posts and guides are great for learning more about our local places, and for sharing with your audiences and employees.
Online Training Program
Everyone in the North Carolina hospitality or retail industry plays a crucial role to help promote Leave No Trace’s educational message with visitors and customers who are likely unaware of the negative impacts that can result from outdoor recreation.
Let’s help protect our outdoor resources with stewardship education, to help ensure that North Carolina’s thriving tourism and recreation economy continue to grow for years to come.
