Help iTIP Tell Iowa Tourism’s Story

iTIP is collecting information from partners to help strengthen how we communicate tourism's impact in Iowa. Share what you're seeing, including event activity, visitor trends, reasons people are traveling, economic results, visitor feedback or other interesting findings. You don't need to have all the answers. Send us what you know, and iTIP can follow up to learn more. Submissions may help inform future op-eds, advocacy communications and other efforts to explain the value of tourism in Iowa.
