[Travelandtourism] Intro

[Michael Baldwin]

LOL, nothing but corn, cows, and wheat.

A lot of stuff around here is nature based, hunting, fishing, camping,
scenic highways etc... Historical type attractions as well, Like Scotts
Bluff, oh, been there a few times, when I lived in Scottsbluff. Zoos,
museums, etc.

Well you guys can help us promote you state and city.

As the travel and tourism division, we need to know what is going on in your
state, like festivals, events, what makes your state different, what do you
like to do in it and why.

You know some have never been to a farm, etc.

We can talk about those things here as well, we need your voices. Traveling
like what Julie said is true some of us cannot afford to go on a cruise or
disney, some just want to read about it.

But through you eyes we can enjoy it. Use that are in the travel industry
can help promote your state as well, people must realize that if we send
someone as a tourist to your state, it is making business for your town and
state, generates money.

So I can post on my blog, in my e-newsletters, etc.

As a division once our website is up and running, we can have a feature of
the month, like the state of Nebraska, we can ask what you like about it,
what places you like to go to, etc.

See we are getting somewhere.

Then we can as a division maybe even take a trip there and go to the places
your recommend, just a thought.

Please people, this is your talk list, talk let us know you are there.
