In the past day or so, Discover America — aka Brand USA, an official public-private corporation that encourages travel in the United States — uploaded videos about Route 66 in Illinois.
This is the American version of a well-produced clip about the Mother Road from Chicago to Springfield, Ill.
Discover America also uploaded versions tailored to British, German and Japanese tourists, including their native language. And the videos are all a bit different from the others. Surf through Discover America’s channel to see them.
It appears the videos got help from the Illinois Route 66 Scenic Byway and Illinois Tourism. It’s great to see the big dogs of tourism and corporations taking a shine to Route 66.
