Now that many from the travel and tourism industry have returned from their state wide convention in Pierre, they continue to process the Mayor holding a press conference about the Convention and Visitor’s Bureau in their absence.

Since the hotels voluntarily tax themselves to fund the CVB and can collectively revoke the funding, Grunewald says being included would have been appreciated.

Mayor Huether reiterated the three points he hopes the CVB will consider, although the city has no authority over the CVB.

Hotel owners have stated to a recent review committee that they are pleased with the Convention and Visitor’s bureau. The mayor says he’d like to work together and didn’t respond as to why the press conference happened while many of the industry were away.

The convention and visitor’s bureau is under the direction of the Chamber of commerce, which is a separate entity from the city.
