Visitor's Guide Advertising Opportunities

An advertisement in the award-winning EXPLORER Visitor Guide is the best way to share information about your business with an already engaged audience.

Travelers are still reading and responding to print, and are turning to brochures, maps, and guides more and more for valuable information on planning a vacation. As the Kennebec Valley’s official visitor guide, “The Explorer” inspires visitors before their visit and influences their choices of dining, lodging, shopping, culture, recreation and entertainment during their visit.

Each year, approximately 25,000 copies of the Maine’s Kennebec Valley EXPLORER Visitor’s Guide are distributed at Visitor Information Centers, travel shows, local businesses and in response to direct requests via our website.
