REQUEST FOR TEXAS TROPICAL TRAIL REGION BROCHURE

Heritage Tourism Guidebook (pdf)

The Texas Tropical Trail Region heritage tourism program is a not-for-profit initiative developed by the Texas Historical Commission and organized in February 2005 with an eleven-member volunteer Board of Directors, a salaried Regional Coordinator and over 400 partners in tourism throughout the 20 county South Texas area known as the Texas Tropical Trail Region.  Kingsville is the home of the Regional office located at the Kingsville Chamber of Commerce, 635 East King Street, room 102. It is the intent of the Texas Tropical Trail Region Board of Directors to showcase the heritage, natural beauty and diverse culture of South Texas for the benefit and enjoyment of Texans and travelers. To achieve this goal, the Board must first join hands with our tourism partners, community leaders, and state and local entities to identify, preserve and interpret our natural, historical and cultural resources. Monthly meetings with educational presentations are the workshops to help make this goal a reality.  These meetings are open to the public.
