North Carolina Tourism

It’s official. The most popular tourist destination in North Carolina is… Concord Mills? That’s right, compared to all other tourist attractions in the state, a shopping center wins the prize. 15.3 million visitors last year. That’s a lot of shopping.

Apparently the stodgy old Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina managed only 13.7 million visitors. How about that. Been around, well, pretty much forever. Created by the forces of time or God or maybe even a bunch of ants over eons. And you lose out by 1.5 million people to a shopping mall.

Something’s wrong with this world.
