DescriptionDuring 2011, Aberdeen, SD hosted over 100 conventions, group and familiarization tours, meetings, sporting and special events. As a result of our marketing efforts tens of thousands of delegates and visitors came to the Aberdeen area. We staff and maintain two visitor centers which provide information about the community, our facilities, attractions and events. The Visitors Centers serviced visitors from 49 states, 8 Canadian provinces and 27 foreign countries. We print several publications that are distributed to entice visitors to the area and maintain two comprehensive websites, one geared to the leisure tourist and one geared to the hunting and fishing sportsman. We coordinate volunteer assistance (1961 hours), fulfill requests for visitor information, and host hospitality rooms for sporting events and conventions.Description
