This is not a total coverage of listings of tourism related businesses in this area any longer. Not all tourism/visitor related venues and businesses are listed. Perhaps the business has chosen not to list on FTD again or perhaps they've gone out of business. Or, it may be that Floyd Tourism Directory has removed it and will no longer carry that business listing. FTD may remove listings of businesses for a number of reasons including when FTD has received repeated or multiple complaints about a business and/or learn the businesses receiving the complaints are uncooperative in terms of resolving sensible problems incurred by visitors or customers. After ten years of providing this information for the Floyd County, Va. area, FTD now only lists those area venues and businesses which have signed up to be included here that have consistently provided fair & ethical business and customer service practices based on various practical modes of discernment.
