Travel Planning Tip

The first place travelers should visit, but rarely do, when planning a trip is the CVB- Convention and Visitor's Bureau- for the destination they are planning to visit.  Not only will you find information on your chosen destination from the people who know it best, but you'll also find itinerary ideas, information on local events and even online discounts.

To find the CVB or tourism board of your chosen destination open your search engine of choice and type in the city, county or state name followed by “visitors bureau”, ie:  Des Moines Iowa visitors bureau.
