Swampy's Florida

Here’s the storefront of an Atlanta travel agency in 1938. This wasn’t an unusual display throughout the U.S. and beyond. Even around Florida travel agents usually had displays of other places in Florida to visit. These days travel agents have become more and more obsolete. Even the travel books of 600 pages I’ve helped work on in the past have become obsolete. People use computers to plan their trips. Booking planes and hotels. One reason Swampy’s Florida was started was to help guide folks to spots across the state, realizing people tend to turn to a computer than travel agents. Hope we’ve succeded and will continue to.
