Clarksville’s Most Scenic Spots Guide now available in Spanish
Clarksville, TN – One of Visit Clarksville’s newest board members is a member of the city’s Hispanic community. Her business, Jimenez Consulting & Tax Services, also serves many Hispanic clients, some of whom are new to the area and interested in things to see and do. But travel information about what to experience in the area wasn’t available in Spanish. Visit Clarksville is changing that.
At the time Maria Jimenez began her board term in July, the Visit Clarksville marketing department had just published a blog showcasing Clarksville’s top scenic spots, using photos provided by visitors and local photographers.
