Pheasant Run Resort Rallies in Support of Travel and Tourism Industry

In a celebration of why Travel Matters, Pheasant Run Resort launches contest for Travel & Tourism Week.
 
ST. CHARLES, Ill. - April 26, 2019 - PRLog -- Today Pheasant Run Resort announced a contest to help increase awareness of the impact travel and tourism have on the community of St Charles, IL.

Travel matters, and it improves St Charles, IL in ways that have a wide-reaching impact on local residents and visitors alike. Travel has the power to strengthen families, foster hometown pride, and build bridges that connect us with one another. This is vitally important now more than ever.

Pheasant Run Resort is taking submissions Monday, April 29th through Sunday, May 5th in the form of 100-word stories about why travel matters to you. These stories will be posted to facebook for online voting during National Travel and Tourism Week Monday, May 6th through Saturday, May 11th. The entry with the most votes at the end of the contest will win an overnight stay at Pheasant Run Resort.

The event is part of the 36th annual National Travel and Tourism Week (NTTW) May 5th-11th, 2019, which unites communities across the country to celebrate how travel matters to American jobs, economic growth and personal well-being.

The theme of this year's NTTW, "Travel Matters," highlights the innumerable ways in which travel makes up the fabric of Iowa's culture and economy. Each day of NTTW will celebrate a different facet of travel: the economy, new experiences, jobs, infrastructure, health benefits, hometown pride and how travel strengthens families.

"Just look at the numbers. Travel supports one in nine American jobs, including 337,100 jobs right here in Illinois," said Andy Tsikrikas, General Manager, Pheasant Run Resort. "This week, we are celebrating travel's powerful impact on our community. We're calling on everyone—from elected officials to all of our local friends and neighbors—to join us in saluting this important industry, and to support pro-travel legislation at the local, state, and national level."

·         337,100 jobs are supported by travel and tourism in Illinois.
