2016 was a year of change at ILLINOISouth Tourism, and I’m happy to say our staff and region continue to grow and thrive! We said a fond farewell to jo kathmann, who retired last summer. She guided the expansion of the Bureau for 14 years from eight counties to the present 22, and I am honored to further develop Tourism within our region! We also welcomed four new staff who joined our team in sales and marketing, social media and graphics and visitor services positions.
We’re looking forward to an exciting 2017! The Bureau’s presence continues to grow online, especially through our Facebook page and new website. Regular posts on Facebook and updates to the website will keep you up to date on activities and attractions. Check out the sidebars in each section of this Guide for a sample of the hundreds of annual events...there’s something for everyone!
As you can see from our inside front cover, one event that takes center stage this year is the Total Solar Eclipse in August. Hundreds of thousands of people are expected for this once in a lifetime event. The best viewing spots of Makanda and Carbondale are a short drive from much of our region. Don’t forget your Eclipse dark glasses and make plans now to come! This Visitors Guide is full of all the great things ILLINOISouth has to offer. Everything is grouped in sections by region and color coded to make it easier to navigate our territory, as it spans the middle of the state from the Mississippi to the Wabash Rivers! You won’t want to miss a thing.
Thanks for coming and enjoying our many miles of smiles and of course, fun!
