New Book from National Geographic Reveals 100 Unexpected Vacation Destinations, including Bentonville.

 

This robust, beautifully illustrated guide offers travelers 100 intriguing alternatives to overcrowded, expensive, and predictable destinations.

 

Too often, vacation destinations are too crowded, too tired or, with inflation, too expensive. Here Not There: 100 Unexpected Travel Destinations resolves such issues both with surprise and delight. Filled with unexpected destinations designed to prompt out-of-the-box thinking for planning your upcoming vacation, it details places that are always imaginative, frequently budget-friendly or uncrowded, and rich with meaningful experiences.

 

Within the vibrant and informative pages of Here Not There, readers will find Bentonville, Arkansas spotlighted as a utopian urbanism experience in Bentonville, Arkansas instead of Boulder, Colorado. From our extensive mountain biking trails, culinary experiences, and community-minded spirit, Nelson writes that the similarities to Boulder make Bentonville the ideal location to achieve the same experience.
