Why Join BRPA?

BRPA not only attracts visitors to the region, we also promote member businesses and communities along the Parkway that meet travel and recreational needs so visitors have the best experience possible. Visitors use these travel resources to find dining, lodging, shopping, recreation and entertainment venues during their Parkway travels. They respond by telling their friends and coming back.

BRPA members have access to valuable industry resources, a network of driven and creative professionals invested in supporting their community, and free event listings on BRPA’s online Parkway Events Calendar.

Working in cooperation across communities and state lines for more than 70 years, we are able to accomplish much more together than we could separately.
