National Travel & Tourism Week is all about showcasing the #FutureOfTravel. The annual celebration allows us an opportunity to celebrate our industry’s role in fostering vibrant communities, driving innovation, facilitating recovery, and powering the U.S. economy.
Our goal in destination marketing is to inspire people to travel. While it is no easy task, it would be impossible without our strong partnership with the Stevens Point Area tourism industry. The Stevens Point Area Convention & Visitors Bureau works to serve as storytellers for the region and it is our partners who provide the experiences. We work to tell stories that don't tell people to come and visit, but instead, let the stories show the people and places that make it worth visiting. How lucky we are, that we have such a strong culture of entrepreneurial spirit and creativity for the local makers who call the Stevens Point Area home. They are helping create a destination with a compelling story - and worthy of a visit.
So this year, in honor of National Travel & Tourism Week, we want to celebrate the #FutureOfTravel. It is the power of travel that brings joy and creates memorable experiences to millions, year over year. Travel cultivates new ideas and relationships. It creates a positive economic impact that supports local business, jobs, and communities. Travel builds community. Travel employs our neighbors. Travel stimulates the economy.
