Macon, Georgia: Why you can't miss this place in the US in 2024
The city of Macon is located in the state of Georgia, USA. It has come a long way to get on the cultural map and have something to attract tourists. In 2023, Macon celebrated its 200th anniversary, and it also has the world's largest indoor pickleball complex, new hotels, and a rapidly developing economy.
It was included in the list of the 50 best travel destinations in 2024 by Travel + Leisure magazine.
The Georgia city, located 84 miles southeast of Atlanta, is a top destination for a short vacation. But its Ocmulgee National Historical Park is its "gem" and attracts travel enthusiasts from all over America.
"After the efforts made to celebrate Macon's 200th anniversary, it was expected that Ocmulgee Mounds would become a national park," said Gary Wheat, president and CEO of Visit Macon. "But I'm happy to report that 2024 is off to a fantastic start! Thanks to the efforts of our fantastic partners, companies, and hundreds of concerned individuals, we are going to make a difference in its bright future...the buzz around Macon, Georgia, won't be stopping anytime soon!"
