ACE helps sponsor reboot of WVExplorer

ACE Adventure Resort has been named among the chief sponsors of the reboot of the West Virginia Explorer, the Web-based guide to West Virginia first launched in 1999. Long one of the chief advertisers associated with the guide, the resort has provided the funding necessary to write and edit thousands of pages of information.

After September 1, explorers of West Virginia will find forums, galleries, and thousands of interactive articles authored by professional writers where the long-standing flagship site for West Virginia Explorer had existed. The site will also solicit visitors to enlist for free memberships, which will qualify them for travel packages and prompt them to sign up for specialty newsletters. Thank, ACE, for helping us build West Virginia!

UPDATE: ACE's investment paid off in February 2014 when the reboot of West Virginia Explorer was unveiled. LinkedIn Version: ACE reboot: a big win! - West Virginia Explorer
