Crafted By Juniper Creates Adventures In Western North Carolina And Asheville Regional Airport Update

Summer Stipes and Tina Kinsey

There is always a proud sense of community that you find in small towns and communities in our country. And in the North Carolina Mountains, you can add to that something downright magical. Great people, incredible food, and Southern Hospitality to make you all feel like you’re home. People here love to roll out the welcome mat. 

Meet Summer Stipe, Founder and Lead Planner​ of Juniper and Crafted by Juniper. Summer offers customized and personalized itineraries for people traveling to Western North Carolina and for locals looking to freshen up their date nights or adventures.

Summer shares why helping people build deeper connections with the people in their lives and to the places where they land, either temporarily or permanently, as well as supporting businesses who are recruiting candidates to the area, provides a rewarding, and proud business model.

And Tina Kinsey from the Asheville Regional Airport shares how the future could look for this fast-growing airport and what the summer season is shaping up to look like.

Tina invites you to sign up for the new quarterly e-newsletter, INSIGHT: AVL Forward, to access more information about the airport's growth with in-depth articles, photos and videos. The newsletter provides a look into airport strategy, challenges, problem-solving, and questions and engagement.
