If your community is in a major city such as Seattle, Austin, or Washington, D.C., it’s easy to attract tourists to parks and special events. Who wouldn’t want to visit the Space Needle or tour the White House holiday decorations? But what if you live in a smaller community, far from attractions that draw the attention of tourists and travel writers?
Take a tip from the following places that have capitalized on unique ways to draw visitors to their communities. The ideas are practical and don’t require something as ambitious as building another St. Louis Arch.
