Your new travel guideMarilyn Holstein opens Best of North Fork Resort Maps franchise

Resort Maps are colorful, hand-drawn maps of towns and cities, distributed free to area visitors at travel information and rest areas as well as at advertiser locations. The Best of North Fork map will highlight local attractions and things to do, restaurants, vineyards, accommodations, retail shops, real estate and other services on the North Fork. Each advertiser on the map will be represented with a display ad surrounding the perimeter of the map, including a color-coded grid locator and their actual building hand-drawn, highlighted and labeled, making it easy to locate.

"I first learned about Resort Maps when I visited Newport several years ago. The map was like my Bible and I never went anywhere without it," said Holstein. "As somebody who's been a regular visitor to North Fork for more than 25 years, I've never seen any maps that come close to showcasing local attractions and businesses like Resort Maps. Tourists and residents alike are going to love how Resort Maps displays the many places and things there are to do and see from Riverhead to Orient Point."

Prior to owning a Resort Maps franchise, Holstein had a career spanning two decades in magazine publishing, including stints and Cond Nast Publications and Advanstar Communications. Most recently, she was the managing editor of Newsweek Budget Travel, where she directed the editorial operations of Budget Travel magazine and the new launch, Girlfriend Getaways.

"I'm extremely excited about this opportunity. I'm a member of several wine clubs on the North Fork and recently joined the North Fork Chamber of Commerce and the feedback has all been extremely positive," said Holstein.

Slated for an August 2010 distribution, The North Fork Resort Map will offer a treasure trove of things to do for people vacationing in the area or just out East for a day or two. Resort Maps free souvenir style' maps will be on display at local advertisers' shops but also at many non-advertiser locations throughout the North Fork region.

The North Fork Resort Map will also be available on-line at resortmaps,com, along with interactive maps to all 98+ areas that Resort Maps covers. These interactive maps allow the viewer to read a description of each business as they scroll over each building and to connect to the website of the business for further information.
