Business Showcase
Pulaski County Tourism Bureau & Visitors Center Pulaski County Tourism Bureau & Visitors Center’s Transient Guest Tax, on overnight stays, was passed in August 1998 and is legislated for use in marketing the destination and operating a Visitors Center. Once the revenues began, desk space and a brochure rack area were made available within the Waynesville-St. Robert Chamber of Commerce office when the Chamber’s office was located along Route 66. In 2001 the Tourism Bureau purchased the current location, completing the remodel in spring of 2002. The new space allowed for additional opportunities and expanded tourist services and information for the Bureau. As the certified marketing destination organization for Pulaski County, the Bureau invests in various marketing outlets to bring awareness to Pulaski County, providing inspiration to potential tourists to choose Pulaski as a vacation destination. The Bureau markets to, and assists, leisure travelers, groups; motorcoach, reunions, sports and specialty groups, and media. In addition, the Bureau operates a Missouri State-Affiliate Visitors Center which provides local and state-wide literature, and museum-like experience. Pulaski County Tourism related businesses and events are invited to share information about their services, activities and events, for inclusion in various referral programs. As a Chamber member opportunity opens up for networking with other members at various functions and events. Serving on various committees allows you to keep informed on community initiatives. This Chamber also strives to develop and enhance leadership qualities of their members through the Ambassadors Club, Leadership Pulaski and the new Junior Leadership Pulaski County program. Various workshops are available to assist businesses with social media skills and proper listings for Google. All these programs build stronger communities, businesses, workforce, and services which in turn strengthen the tourism and hospitality industries.
