Vidalia is getting noticed by a national publication and the article reflects positively on our community

The Sweet Onion City and other area attractions are part of a spread in Travel and Leisure magazine entitled “10 Charming Small Towns in Georgia,” and our city is highlighted among such destinations as Jekyll Island, Helen, Tallulah Falls, and other small cities along the coast, mountains and around the state.

Vidalia Mayor Doug Roper says to be included is a positive thing.

“We are very excited to be included on this list,” Mayor Roper said. “This affirms that we are doing something right. It shows our leaders are working hard. We have an active DVA (Downtown Vidalia Association and CVB (Convention and Visitors Bureau) and heading in the right direction. And not just us; by getting this recognition it also means that Lyons and Montgomery County are being noticed, too. We work together on the same sheet of music when we can to ensure that Vidalia and the area is a great place to live.”

Travel and Leisure has been in print for 50 years and is hailed as a top publication for travelers around the world whether it be a weekend getaway or a full vacation destination.
