Small town tourism has gone online.

Visit Winona is a local organization whose goal is to promote year-long tourism in the Winona area. By promoting tourism, Visit Winona hopes to bring a positive economic impact to the area. In order to further its goal to reach the networking population, Visit Winona has now created accounts on Facebook and Twitter, open to anyone with an interest in the area.

In addition to event notifications, Visit Winona’s Facebook has many other links, including a photo album, links to other sites concerning the Winona area, and information for contacting Visit Winona staff. Through Facebook and Twitter, anyone can chat with other students, residents and tourists interested in the area around Saint Mary’s University.
