Vermont is a magical place... a region where all four seasons provide endless opportunities for recreation, business travel, event planning and historic discovery.
The Green Mountain State is so named because of the breathtaking mountains that play a significant role in Vermont tourism, business and industry, and production of the best maple syrup in the United States! Vermont has it all, from the upscale urban city of Burlington, to the classic New England charm of Manchester and the breathless excitement of the terrain at Killington. There are also many great places to stay and fun things to do in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom.
