Reporting here centers on airline service into Tennessee's major airports, visitor destinations from the mountains to the Mississippi River, tourism recovery figures and the policy changes that affect travelers. Coverage reaches from the big-city gateways to the smaller towns that draw visitors, across the state from Memphis to Bristol. Seasonal peaks in tourism shape much of the coverage, since summer and fall travel drive most of the state's visitor activity. Road and air connections are the two constraints that most often determine how far a destination can grow.
