Diversity and Inclusion

Siouxland is a destination that extends a warm welcome to all visitors, and Explore Siouxland is proud to be at the forefront of that vision. We support diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, both internally and externally, in our organization and in our community engagement to ensure that individuals of all backgrounds feel respected, heard, and represented.

Mission statement

Explore Siouxland is the official destination marketing organization for the tri-state area. We work to showcase our communities for visitors and residents as they explore everything Siouxland has to offer.

About

Structure

Formed as the Sioux City Regional Convention & Visitors Bureau in September 2019, the SCRCVB represents the Siouxland region of Western Iowa, Southeast South Dakota, and Northeast Nebraska. A board of directors that includes representatives from the hospitality industries, the Siouxland Chamber of Commerce and members of the community appointed at-large by the board of directors oversees operations and sets strategic direction for the staff.

About

Funding

The SCRCVB is primarily funded through a 1.65% destination marketing fee paid by guests at member lodging facilities. Additionally there are annual contributions from local city and county governments, as well as local businesses.
