Never Seen Something So Beneficial To Our Area

First, I have never had a guest compliment any of the magazines we put in our condo’s. Today, I had a guest come in and she was raving about how wonderful your magazine was. She was so impressed with the information that was covered about food, fun etc. She went on and on about how she’s never seen something so beneficial to our area. It truly is a wonderful magazine and we’re happy to be a part of it!!

It’s a Reminder of What a Great Area Northwest Arkansas Is!

As a resident of NWA, I’m a huge fan of Northwest Arkansas Travel Guide. It’s so important to know and utilize the great things this area has to offer, from special events to restaurants to breweries and everything in between, this magazine offers the best of the best! As an area musician, I also appreciate Northwest Travel Guide. The magazine lists many venues that I have the frequent pleasure of entertaining AND if you catch them on social media, they will give the occasional shout out to other musicians like myself. It’s a reminder of what a great area Northwest Arkansas is!

How Is The Top 10 List Compiled?

The number one question from readers is how do we determine who is in the Top 10. Truthfully, it isn’t an easy task to determine the winners each quarter. Listees are determined by a proprietary formula based on thousands of online reviews, select reader polls and the covert experiences of NWATravelGuide.com’s street team. These three entirely different research avenues provide ultimate integrity, and accurately yield the Top 10 in any particular category. Bottom line, this means a business can’t pay to be on a Top 10 list. Yes, advertising is sold, but that does not buy a listing in the Top 10. The magazine was created to spotlight the Best of Northwest Arkansas, and to share those findings with local residents and visitors. If we let our advertisers be the guide for who makes the Top 10, then, only the businesses with the biggest budgets would make the list. Our principled system leaves plenty of room for the little guy, the mom and pop businesses.
