Tourism promotions win state awards

The Lawrence Convention & Visitors Bureau received four marketing awards during this month’s Travel Industry Association of Kansas’ annual meeting in Dodge City.

The agency won first place in the professionally developed Web site category for www.visitlawrence.com, which features an online booking engine that allows visitors to reserve hotel rooms. Also winning first place was a direct-mail campaign that featured information about seasonal attractions and events.

The Lawrence Visitor Guide was recognized as the best professionally produced Visitor Guide in the state. The guide also received the People’s Choice Award, which is voted on by all conference attendees.
