Route 66 Continues To Impress Locals & Tourists
Even though it is not the only connecting highway anymore, Route 66 continues to draw in visitors and travelers from across the globe. As its 2,448 miles connects Chicago, Missouri, Kansas, Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arizona, and California, Route 66 is known for its nostalgia and rich history. As it continues to draw tourists to the High Desert, local businesses tend to cling along the historic route.
Known as the Mother Road, Route 66 has proven to act as an economic tool in the local market recovery. As the Mother Road attracts visitors to Barstow, California, the Barstow Area Chamber of Commerce is looking to capitalize on Baby Boomers who are now retired and looking for remote traveling opportunities and on Europeans who are interested in the history of the famous connecting route.
With major development projects underway in the area, the city of Barstow is expecting continuous growth over the years. Additionally, with an emphasis on revamping the area with a focus on its historical values, experts are hoping tourist demand continues to increase. With Europeans seeking an experience like the famous films and more local tourists looking to travel through and enjoy the nostalgia, these hot spots will become more of a social gathering place for those living in Barstow.
One of the major reasons why Route 66 is considered to be so special is due to its roots of American individualism. Route 66 signifies a time before everything was developed in a cookie cutter fashion, which many enjoy reminiscing about.
