Description
Tennessee is making it easy to give the gift of travel this holiday season. More than ever, parents want to gift their kids’ experiences, but kids still want to unwrap gifts during the holiday season. Tennessee Playcation makes it easy to do both. Here’s a quick overview:
Taking a page from the time-honored tradition of making your holiday wish list from a toy catalog, Tennessee is launching its first-ever toy catalog – the Tennessee Playcation.
100,000 physical catalogs are being mailed to consumers in key tourism markets.
The catalog offers 88 pages of fun for the whole family; parents can purchase 25 toy builds inspired by Tennessee’s biggest attractions – from Dollywood and the Great Smoky Mountains to Graceland in Memphis; the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga; Grand Ole Opry in Nashville and Bristol Motor Speedway (see the full list below)
The website – www.Tennesseeplaycation.com – will feature a downloadable, printable version of the catalog (launching 10/2)
This gift guide, poised to rival seasonal favorites like the Amazon Toy Catalog and other major retailers, marks a unique milestone as the first-ever holiday catalog for children inspired by tourism.
