Kentucky
---------
1. Louisville
2. Cumberland Gap region (i.e.: Corbin, Cumberland Falls State Park, Cumberland Gap National Historic Park)
3. Kentucky lake region (i.e.: Kentucky Lake, Lake Barkley, Land Between the Lakes), although this area already attracts a large amount of tourists in the summer even without tremendous advertisement

those on the KY forum know I'm a big backer for a new National Park in SE Kentucky's cave region. It is the world's 5th largest collection of caves, in terms of miles!! Unlike the Mammoth Cave region, the caves in SE Kentucky have rarely been toured, mostly they've been used as distilleries for moonshine.

The world's premier cave destination is already located at the other end of Cumberland Parkway. KY could dub the road "America's Cave Corridor"

This would target only certain people rather than the mass, but ~

I would say Eastern Oregon in general. Which ~ I emphasize strongly! ~ is NOT at all like the Oregon people conceive in their minds. The green Oregon is only west of the Cascades; the east side is all desert, and is very awesome in its own way. There are lots of ghost towns (Oregon Trail history in most cases), hiking, the glorious Wallowa Lake, and Steens Mountain, which is supposedly the darkest spot in the nation for avid astronomers.
