Last week, Avoca’s Community Relations Coordinator, Cydney Shriver, attended the 2026 Tourism Conference hosted by Travel Iowa in Altoona, Iowa.
This two-day conference focused on tourism trends, data-driven strategies, and new ideas communities can use to attract visitors and strengthen local economies. Opportunities like this allow our team to learn from industry professionals across the state and bring new ideas back to Avoca.
“We are always looking for ways to highlight everything our community has to offer,” said Cydney. “This conference was a great opportunity to gain new insights and make connections that will help Avoca continue to grow.”
Travel Iowa is the state’s official tourism office and works to promote Iowa as a travel destination while supporting communities, attractions, and local tourism initiatives across the state. Learn more about Travel Iowa on their website at traveliowa.com/
