Destination marketing today goes far beyond attracting visitors. It plays a key role in supporting local businesses, strengthening community pride, and enhancing quality of life for those who live in—and visit—Siouxland. That evolution is the focus of Understanding Destination Marketing with Bill Geist, a special presentation happening Monday, February 16, from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. Bill Geist, author of Destination Leadership and host of the nationally recognized DMOU Podcast, will share how destination marketing organizations across the Midwest have shifted from a “heads in beds” mindset to becoming leaders in community marketing and regional collaboration.
Some things have to be seen to be believed. In Siouxland, they have to be experienced! Embark on an exciting historical voyage, explore the magic of nature, learn while you play, and so much more. These are our must-see attractions.
Now that you know where you want to be, it’s time to plan your itinerary! Choose from many local hotels to get the right amenities for you, check out our blogs for detailed storytelling while you select your attractions, and take advantage of our free visitors’ guide to see even more of what’s in store.
Cold temps are coming back and fresh snow is on the way — which means sledding season isn’t done yet ❄️🛷
If you’ve been meaning to get out this winter, now’s the time to hit the hill at Cone Park before the season wraps up. Grab your friends, bundle up, and make the most of these last snowy days. There’s nothing like a fast ride down the slope and hot cocoa after.
Don’t let winter sneak away without one more sled run.
