Teri Schmidt of the Sioux Falls Convention and Visitors Bureau says the 2015 Rocky Mountain International Roundup is underway at the Holiday Inn City Center.

Sioux Falls fits into a region we like to call 'The Real America.'

"We have about 200 folks here from all over the world. About 45 of those folks are international tour operators. We are showing them Sioux Falls and extending that warm hospitality in our beautiful community. We hope they go back home and book business back to Sioux Falls."

Caroline is from Australia.

"Sioux Falls fits into a region we like to call 'The Real America.' It means to us that you have the natural assets, the people assets and just all the fabulous attractions that Australians are looking for. Sioux Falls is unique, authentic and we think that the city and the region have a lot to offer Australians. It's an easy sell for me."

This is the first time the event is being hosted in Sioux Falls and the largest single hosting of international tour operators in the history of the city.
