How is Destination Pueblo promoting the area?
Together, the Greater Pueblo Chamber of Commerce and Destination Pueblo are doing a lot to promote Pueblo as a tourism destination. The Pueblo Chamber of Commerce is buying ads in publications like: Official State Vacation Guide, Vacation Planner COOP with Lodging Association, Golf View, Golf News and publications in the Denver Area. They are placing billboards throughout the Pueblo area, during the months of April through September, and advertising through cable television in the Denver area. Pueblo is also being represented well at trade shows, such as: Denver Golf EXPO, Kansas Sport Boat & Travel, Colorado Sport Boat & Travel and the Meeting Industry Council Conference & EXPO.
Destination Pueblo and the Greater Pueblo Chamber print monthly event posters displayed throughout the state. Both web sites include links to the Pueblo Events Calendar, which include many things to do in the Pueblo Area. They have also developed a monthly e-newsletter that is sent to locals and people interested in traveling to Pueblo. The group is placing weekly ads in the Pueblo Chieftain called "What to do When Company Comes," and also developing a Friday morning segment on KDZA radio about "What to Do When Company Comes."
