SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - International tour operators will be in Sioux Falls this weekend to learn about area attractions and Midwest hospitality.
Teri Schmidt with Convention and Visitors Bureau says 200 operators from Australia to Europe are coming. Schmidt says local leaders have five days to take the operators to all of the Sioux Empire's hot spots and to be wined and dined.
Schmidt says they'll return to their respective countries and, if they like what they see and experience, will book their clients on trips to South Dakota and specifically Sioux Falls.
Sioux Falls won the bid to host the annual Rocky Mountain International Roundup which will be headquartered at the Downtown Holiday Inn April 12-16.
