Winona continues to spread joy through the light-hearted messaging of our area’s cool, quirky and unique assets – no other destination can compare in terms of virality!

Visit Winona kicked off 2024 by sharing our Miami of Minnesota fun with thousands of leisure travelers at the Chicago, IL Travel Expo; many attendees commented that our booth was the most engaging, besting even Miami, Florida! We have heavily invested in digital marketing this year, focusing on native retargeting ads and YouTube pre-roll advertising that features our outdoor recreation, summer entertainment and arts.

Visit Winona champions the best of our region through branded email blasts, social media posts, and influencer visits. We are creating a sparkling new VisitWinona.com, slated to launch Early Winter 2024. This updated website will feature a user-focused experience, fresh layout, optimized partner listings and the curated content you love.

Partnership benefits at all levels include website and Visitor Guide listings, Winona Visitor Center display space, area updates, marketing opportunities, referrals and more.

Four partnership levels include advertising in our annual Winona Visitor Guide, of which we will once again print 40,000 copies.

Partner Benefits at all levels include:

  • Full Online Directory listing at VisitWinona.com
  • 2025 Official Visitor Guide full listing
  • Winona Visitor Center rack space
  • Winona area updates, referrals, marketing and grant opportunities
