You will frequently hear from people in Alabama that there is nothing particularly interesting for tourists. However, the state's greatest industry, tourism, which brings in well over $10 billion annually, happens to be a major corporation.


Above all, Alabama's rural and agricultural roots, together with its warm hospitality, mouthwatering cuisine, top-notch hotels and resorts, and renowned events where there are many Things To Do In Alabama with several festivals and performances, are what makes the state so alluring to tourists.


Alabama is the place to rediscover your sang-froid for tormented souls tired of city lights. From the fresh, crisp air of north-central Alabama's mountains and lakes to the glittering sun-soaked beaches of the state's southern Gulf coast, Alabama has a stunning assortment of attractions to offer the traveller seeking comfort in Nature's arms. It is also a state with a rich historical and cultural legacy. So, whether it's simply a weekend trip or a longer vacation, wise people check out Alabama before picking where to go on their well-deserved break. And I say "wise" people because a vacation in Alabama won't break the bank - you may have a great time at a far lower cost than comparable vacation places!


Alabama has something to offer travellers of all tastes and preferences, from museums to flea markets, from golf to Motorsports or greyhound racing, from the battleship Alabama to the US Army Aviation Museum, and even natural history museums and the estuarium at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab.


Flea market Mobile, the largest such market on the Gulf Coast, provides the best opportunity for bargain hunters. Similarly, there is something for everyone interested in education and museums. There are museums dedicated to natural history, political history, and military history, to name a few.


The Alabama Shakespeare Festival is the only professional theatre in the United States with a live-in acting group that stages a rotating repertory of classical works. Then there's the letter F.

There is also much for sports fans. While the Alabama Sports Facility Hall of Fame honours sporting greats such as Jesse Owens, the International Motorsports Hall of Fame and the Barber Vintage Motorsports Park and Museum are must-sees for car enthusiasts. There is also the Birmingham Greyhound Race Track for individuals who enjoy dog racing.


There is a lot for the literary-minded in a state that has given us literary masterpieces like To Kill a Mockingbird. Aside from the more serious issues, the intrepid traveller seeking macabre literary pleasure can try their hand at gathering the countless ghost stories that Alabama residents are fond of telling.
