They can use the natural and historical landscape as the décor for their event. “In the case of our parks, the physical location of our venues, including acces- sibility for travelers, nearby attractions and restaurants, and a variety of accom- modations are essential,” says Anello. “Having an outdoor venue is wonderful - unless it is cumbersome to get there, it lacks suitable accommodations for guests, or there are no amenities close by.
