A tourism authority is a broad term used to describe organizations that promote and showcase a destination. These can include DMOs (Destination Marketing or Management Organizations), CVBs (Convention and Visitors Bureaus) or Tourist Boards. For this discussion, I’d like you to do some online searching and find 3 different tourism authorities, one for each of the following:
A city or town (like Visit Stillwater, https://www.visitstillwater.org/,Links to an external site. or Atlanta Convention and Visitors Bureau, https://discoveratlanta.com/acvb/)Links to an external site.
A state in the US (like Travel OK, https://www.travelok.com/Links to an external site., or Kansas Tourism, https://www.travelks.com/Links to an external site.)
A country (like Brand USA, https://www.visittheusa.com/,Links to an external site. or Peru Travel, https://www.peru.travel/en)Links to an external site.
You may find several website promoting a destination, but look for the official one. Usually, the tourism authority will say something like “the official tourism website for ….”). Once you have found the website for the tourism authorities of your choice, browse around and report one interesting thing you learned through their website. This could be an excursion, research, a travel itinerary, etc., just any information that you find interesting.
Please share the name and website of the tourism authority, as well as an interesting fact or finding for each of the 3 categories above. Try not to use the ones I have shared as examples.
