Thanks for sharing! Highlights from National Travel and Tourism Week

Throughout National Travel and Tourism Week (NTTW) social media followers were asked to interact with Visit Las Cruces by sharing photos and stories that capture the "Spirit of Travel" to Las Cruces. The response was humbling and truly shows the love that residents and travelers have for Las Cruces and its surrounding communities. Although NTTW wrapped up Saturday, May 9, Visit Las Cruces wanted to share some of the highlight and stories from throughout the week.
