Project 543 features unique N.C. destinations


Project 543, an all-new blog dedicated to the stories of unique destinations across North Carolina, debuted online last week. Why 543? Because that’s the number of miles from Manteo, on the coast, to Murphy, in the mountains, and is traditionally considered the width of the state. Watch a preview of some upcoming entries below.

During the past year, the Division has gathered these stories from partner input on the people, places and experiences visitors can only find in North Carolina. Each entry will be paired with a custom image and type illustration that can be shared on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Google+.

Entries will appear in no particular order and will be promoted via VisitNC.com, the Division’s social media accounts, e-newsletter program and other efforts.
