Testimonials from current partners

David Wilson, President of Winona Golf & Dining, Inc
“Our participation in the partnership program with Visit Winona has had a direct effect on revenues. Through leads from Visit Winona, we have expanded our tour bus revenues, have been able to work with lodging in Winona to attract additional guests through packages and promotions, and have had a vehicle to meet face-to-face with others in tourism we might otherwise not meet.”

 Mary Polus, Bloedow Bakery
“Partnership in Visit Winona has not only given Bloedow Bakery additional marketing exposure, but a way to be part of something bigger - the Winona hospitality community. We are part of the 'package' for those visiting Winona. It has also given us the opportunity to network with others in the Winona hospitality industry. We’ve made connections that have directly resulted in sales for the bakery and opportunities for the future. We’ve also learned more about what is happening in our community, allowing us to share that with our customers.”

Anne Larson, Village House Inn
“Becoming a Visit Winona partner really makes sense for a small business like ours with a limited advertising budget, and the investment has easily paid for itself. The benefits offered through the partnership program are a fundamental part of our marketing strategy and have proven to be some of the best ways to reach out-of-town customers. Visit Winona also provides networking opportunities which have helped me to stay connected with what's happening in the community so that I can better serve my guests.”
