The Siouxland Interstate Metropolitan Planning Council (SIMPCO) and the Sioux City Regional Convention & Visitors Bureau invite the submission of proposals from experienced and qualified consultants to complete a local tourism marketing study. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted travel, tourism, and local businesses in the Siouxland region and throughout the country. This study serves as a part of the Metro’s recovery efforts, especially those related to tourism attraction, encouraging local staycations, and “return home” endeavors. The primary objectives of this project are to complete a marketing study, travel surveys, and a branding survey.
