ExploreHopi has a brand new website (ExploreHopi.com), just launched to serve visitors
to Hopi and other tourism attractions of the Hopi Tribe Economic Development
Corporation (HTEDC).
“By
launching our online presence, visitors will now have a single source that will
help them plan their trip to Hopi,” said Kevin Lombardo, CEO of HTEDC. “In
addition, some of the best Hopi art will be available very soon for sale
through this portal.”
Explore
Hopi is an invitation to visitors to tour Hopi lands. Explore Hopi’s tour
operators provide custom tours to highlight art, petroglyphs & Hopi
villages. ExploreHopi.com is an official, HTEDC-owned resource highlighting the
tradition & culture plus history of the Hopi people. Each of several
Explore Hopi tour packages also includes the Explore Hopi dinner in
the Hopi Cultural Center Restaurant, where visitors are served traditional
foods, in the way they were intended, family-style.
“Hu’vaam
Yee’se, welcome to Explore Hopi!,” said Clarice Tafoya, Explore Hopi Director. “Explore Hopi is a link to the past by
maintaining cultural traditions while experiencing a modern Hopi lifestyle.”
Explore Hopi and a main feature of its new website, ExploreHopi.com, is the offering of authentic, outstanding variety for visitors to experience the Southwest. Explore Hopi invites visitors to stay at Days Inn Kokopelli in Sedona, to refuel with a cultural break from a Southwest journey at the Hopi Travel Plaza in Holbrook and to base a visit to the Hopi center of the universe at the Hopi Cultural Center Restaurant & Inn on Second Mesa. The Days Inn Kokopelli, Hopi Travel Plaza and Hopi Cultural Center Restaurant & Inn are all owned and managed by the Hopi Tribe Economic Development Corporation on behalf of the Hopi Tribe.
“Bringing
together all of the offerings of Hopi, the HTEDC and our properties will allow
folks the chance to experience Hopi arts, culture and history by taking a trip
back in time while enjoying the Hopi hospitality of today,” said Lombardo.
Explore
Hopi is thrilled to offer a new website for all travelers to this undiscovered
part of Arizona. ExploreHopi.com is a resource to a very special cultural
experience for visitors to the Grand Canyon State – visitors from other parts
of the U.S. and those from all over the world. Hopi features breathtaking
surroundings that fill the senses and feed the soul. The three mesas, home
to the 12 villages of Hopi and Tewa, are truly unique and offer
once-in-a-lifetime experiences. The Hopi people have lived here
for centuries — Oraibi village is the oldest continuously inhabited
settlement in the United States.
“Explore
Hopi has so much to offer our guests on Hopi way of life, the culture, history,
historic petroglyphs, agriculture, astrology, Hopi cuisine and much more,” said
Tafoya. We are looking forward to seeing you in Hopi land!”
