Here are five ways help you plan that long-awaited trip when the time is right.

We reimagined our Stay and Play Directory this year, making it easier than ever for you to find unique Vermont lodging, world-class dining and bountiful outdoor recreation. Explore attractions like museums, lake cruises and galleries, and filter to find family-friendly activities, pet-friendly lodging, unique experiences like farm stays, and travel resources such as welcome centers.

The Vermont Chamber of Commerce offers trip planning resources and publishes a Vermont Vacation Guide that connects travelers with the inspiration and updates on lodging properties, attractions and newcomers to the Vermont tourism scene. While you wait for travel, order your free Vermont Vacation Guide or check out past issues online and pass the time daydreaming about the adventures to come.

As you plan your trip, explore Dig In Vermont for a guide to all things craft food and beverage statewide. Find tasting events, must-sample spots, restaurants, farmers markets and pick-your-own farms to give you a taste of Vermont while you plan.

If you’re already dreaming about exploring a specific region or town, tracking down planning resources and inspiration specific to that area can be a huge help. Start by checking out resources on Vermont’s historic downtowns and regions.
