The marketing department at the Convention & Visitors Bureau is working fast and furious on the 2016 Visitors Guide, a publication mailed to thousands of visitors, distributed at group events and placed in a variety of locations where visitors can pick them up.

The guide is just one way the CVB encourages travel to Springfield and reaches out to visitors. The website, Passport to Family Fun coupon books, displays at the airport and expo center and many other opportunities are available.

Businesses that recently partnered with the CVB include the following:

• Artivities
• Billiards of Springfield
• Creative Escape Glass

For information about these and other marketing opportunities available through the CVB, contact Jane Rips at 417-881-5300, ext. 105 or jrips@springfieldmo.org.
