Our Sponsors and Members
When the Cumberland Gap Region Tourism Association(CGRTA) was first organized and chartered, we had two objectives in mind:
To promote the Cumberland Gap Region (CGR) and its many histroical sites, attractions, adventures, and hidden treasures as a tourist destination, and
To promote small businesses within the region so that out-of-town guests will be informed about where to shop, eat, stay and play while visiting the CGR.
The CGRTA is a non-profit "membership organization". We exist because of our sponsors and members. Therefore, your patronage of these local businesses would be most appreciated.

So please come and experience first hand, life on the outskirts of the mountains that are just a short drive away with plenty of hiking trails, bike trails and the splendor of the outdoors.
