Kelly Nygaard from the Faribault Chamber of Commerce visited our club to share the state of tourism for Faribault. The Chamber as the area tourism bureau collects a 3% tax on all overnight stays in the city. These funds are then focused back at potential travelers to visit our community.
Kelly explained the many ways the Chamber uses the funds from billboards on Interstate 35, travel guides, geo fencing mobile ads, trade shows and social media post. One of the most successful campaigns has been using social influencers on Instagram to visit Faribault and run a story on their pages and blogs.
Covid-19 took a big dip into the travel industry but Kelly feels the future is bright for tourism in Faribault due to many of our local outdoor activities and historical buildings.
