Maryland: Discover one of America’s best-kept secrets

With unique character and remarkable accessibility, Maryland invites travelers to look beyond the obvious and discover a destination rich in story, heritage, and personality.

About the Partnership

The Maryland International Marketing Partnership brings together four of the state's leading destination organizations - the Maryland Office of Tourism, Visit Baltimore, Visit Annapolis & Anne Arundel County, and Visit Frederick.  We are united by ambition to drive international visitation and share Maryland's story with the world.

A Destination Full of Stories, Heritage, & Personality

History at Every Turn - Maryland's past is vivid, layered, and genuinely inspiring. From the colonial streets of Annapolis and the parapets of Fort McHenry to the Civil War crossroads of Frederick, this is a state where American history surrounds you at every turn. 

Flavor Worth Travelling For - Chesapeake Bay blue crabs. Craft breweries, distilleries, and wineries in the foothills of Appalachians. Farm-fresh orchards and markets. Waterfront dining from Baltimore's Inner Harbor to Annapolis's historic docks. Maryland's culinary scene is one of America's great pleasures.

The Bay, the Mountains, & Everything Between - Maryland packs remarkable geographic variety into one accessible, road-trip-ready state. Sail the Chesapeake, hike Catoctin Mountain, explore scenic byways through the Mid-Atlantic - all within easy reach of one another.

Arts, Culture & Creative Community - From Baltimore's nationally recognized arts institutions to Frederick's galleries and Annapolis's independent creative scene, Maryland's cultural life is rich and deeply rooted.

Close to Everything. Like Nowhere Else - BWI Marshall Airport offers direct transatlantic connections, placing Maryland within easy reach of international travelers. And with four distinctive destinations all within a scenic two-hour drive of each other, Maryland is purpose-built for the curious, unhurried explorer.
