Local tourism advocates recently met with Iowa Legislators to discuss the industry’s development and promotion.
Pella Convention and Visitor’s Bureau Director Jill Vandevoort and Marion County Development Commission Director Carla Eysink met with Senators Ken Rozenboom and Amy Sinclair at the Iowa State Fairgrounds last week. Vandervoort says a big topic of discussion between the two parties was school start dates and the impact they have on the economy. She says it was also an opportunity to showcase the strength of tourism in Marion County and Pella.
