Tourism Industry News

Hello Industry Partners,

We have hit the year running! National media is starting to buzz about Indiana. Frommer’s named “Indiana Among the World’s Top Places to Go in 2020” and Pauline Frommer was on Good Morning America touting it. 

At the same time, we unveiled the ultimate 2020 travel experience, called The 20 IN 20. We are revealing 20 lists of 20 must-see, must-do Indiana experiences, one at a time, all year long. All 92 counties will be represented when all 400 Indiana experiences are revealed. So far, we have released lists of 20 great small towns, destination dining, breweries and sweet spots. When you visit a destination from any of the lists, post your photos on Instagram with #The20IN20 for a chance to win one of many giveaways. We encourage you to share in your communities, as we’ve been spreading the word, too. We are partnering with WTHR, have been featured on Inside Indiana Business and will also be doing monthly radio spots on WRBI.

January was a busy month for the Indiana Tourism team. Take a look below to see where we’ve been. Coming up, you will see us at the Indianapolis State Fairgrounds for the Brewers Guild Winterfest and the Sport, Boat and Travel Show in Indianapolis, a special heartfelt thank you to those of you who signed up to help spread information about Indiana. Amy will be heading to Columbus, Ohio for a media mission, along with 14 partners to promote Indiana to more than 30 travel writers.

We are very excited to share with you that we have partnered with the iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the site of the 2020 Media Marketplace that will be held on April 28th at 11:00 am. We know the change in location will entice new and more writers to visit our great state! See below for more information.

If you need anything, please feel free to reach out to me or my team. We will assist in any way we can.

All the Best,

Misty
