Pigeon Forge is getting more national attention as a top travel destination.
Wednesday, travel website Trip Advisor released its 2012 list of the Top 15 US Destinations on the Rise. Pigeon Forge makes the list at number four.
Trip Advisor said one of Pigeon Forge's advantages is its close proximity to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and its outdoor activities as well as other attraction options like Dollywood.
This year's number one spot went to another Tennessee City, Nashville.
