Hoosier Tourism Blogs
6 Nov
As I spend time online each day at work, I’ve been looking into the different DMOs here in Indiana who have already started blogging. Check out these great examples of Hoosier DMOs who are already blogging!
If I missed anyone, please let me know and I’ll add them to the list.
CVBs:
- Grant County – Get some great tips about things to do in and around Grant County (home of my Alma Mater, Taylor U). You can even subscribe to their RSS feed (See the TTC RSS post for more info about RSS)
- ICVA – Indianapolis does a great job with their blogs. Not only do they write their own internally, but they also act as a blogging aggregator by pulling in blogs from all across the city about a range of topics.
- Bloomington – Bloomington has several regularly-updated blogs that talk about all things Bloomington!
- Elkhart County – This is an example of a blog like the Visit Indiana blog. It’s housed at Blogger, so it’s absolutely free and a great way to break into blogging. This would be an example of a site where you might want to use a FeedBurner RSS feed.
- Spencer County – Spencer County has been blogging since July 2006!
Attractions:
- Holiday World – The Holiblog has been featured on here before. Paula has done a great job of interacting with her consumers through this and the Shared Memories blog. They also have some great Social Bookmarking elements on the blog and be sure to check them out on Twitter!
- Indiana Beach – I’ve also mentioned Indiana Beach’s blog before. It’s a great example of an attraction taking advantage of blogging to reach out to their members. I think that if they put an RSS Feed option on the blog, they might be able to grab a few more readers.
- Think Lincoln! – This blog details the “Lincoln Journey of Remembrance” – a riverboat ride down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers taken this summer.
