The Official North Carolina Travel Guide Is Now Available on the iPad

Journal Communications has partnered with Nxtbook Media, leading provider of digital options for publishers, to develop a free app that allows travelers to access articles and photos from the Official North Carolina Travel Guide print publication on their iPads.

The iPad app also features animation, photo galleries and embedded video and audio to give readers an exciting new way to experience the many wonderful places to visit in North Carolina. The app is user-friendly with large type and photos for readability, easy navigation and instant links to the state tourism website, visitnc.com, where travelers can find more detailed information about attractions and accommodations across the state.

Journal publishes the print version of the travel guide for the North Carolina Division of Tourism, Film and Sports Development and has partnered with NxtBook in past years to develop English and German-language digital versions of the travel guide.

The app release signals a continuation of the Division’s innovative leadership in the area of digital distribution. The digital version of the Official North Carolina Travel Guide has been recognized as a technological trendsetter for state travel guides. North Carolina is only one of five states offering a mobile travel guide app.
