How Sioux Falls is Celebrating National Travel & Tourism Week
Last year was not a good year for the majority of businesses in this country. The travel industry was hit particularly hard. Travel, in general, became more of a, dreaming of the future, sort of virtual exploration of National Parks, zoos, museums, and other faraway places.
Here in South Dakota, tourism is our second leading industry. That means a lot of interested travelers. In 2019, visitor spending generated more than $84 million in state and local tax revenue in Minnehaha County alone. In 2020, Visitors to South Dakota spent $3.4 billion, a decline of 18% from 2019.
Winter Wonderland Extended Through End of January
Just when you think the times we live in couldn t get any stranger - -they do.
So - - if you, like so many other people, just need to find a little peace, an opportunity to spend a moment or two hoping for something better, maybe something beautiful to look at for a few minutes of life-affirming consolation, I strongly suggest you make the short trip to Falls Park to see Winter Wonderland.
Especially, if your busy holiday season didn t allow you the time to do it. And thanks to Experience Sioux Falls, our convention and visitors bureau, you will now be able to visit Winter Wonderland through January 31.
