Hello, Tourism Friends!

As noted in Monday’s email, the South Dakota Department of Tourism is launching a comprehensive strategic planning process and we need your input. Below, you will find information regarding an industry stakeholder survey that is a crucial element of our planning process. Our goal is to create a plan that is industry-informed and takes into consideration the needs and expectations of our stakeholders whose businesses and livelihoods depend on a thriving tourism economy. Your anonymous responses to this 15-minute survey will guide us as we create our next three-year strategic plan, and will be a part of shaping the future of the South Dakota tourism industry for years to come.

Access the survey here: https://www.research.net/r/SDDT-Strategic-Planning-Survey

We ask that you complete the survey in one sitting, and that you submit your responses by end of day on Thursday, July 29, 2021. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or Wanda Goodman. We can be reached at [email protected] or [email protected].

Thank you for your participation and input!

All our best,
Jim & Team

Jim Hagen
Secretary of Tourism
