Our Travel & Tourism Division is charged with encouraging the traveling public to visit and travel within Kansas by promoting the recreational, historic, and natural advantages of the state and its facilities. The Division's efforts include promotion to travel writers, motor coach tour operators, individual travelers, and the international travel community.

As the State’s lead economic agency, the Kansas Department of Commerce (Commerce) has a clear mission: to empower individuals, businesses, and communities to realize prosperity in Kansas. To this end, Commerce comprises a variety of programs and services that create jobs, attract new investment, provide workforce training, encourage community development, and sell the state as a wonderful place to travel, live, and do business. These programs are administered by a dynamic staff that is dedicated to improving the quality of life of all Kansans.

Kansas Travel and Tourism is a not-for-profit organization charged with representing Kansas and helping the long-term development of Kansas communities through a travel and tourism strategy. Kansas Travel and Tourism is an unbiased resource, and serves as a broker and official point of contact for convention and meeting planners, tour operators and visitors. Kansas Travel and Tourism will assist planners with meeting preparation and encourage business travelers and visitors alike to visit local historic, cultural and recreational sites.

Kansas Travel and Tourism makes planning and implementing a meeting less time-consuming and more streamlined. They give meeting planners access to a range of services, packages and value-added extras. Before a meeting begins, sales professionals from Kansas Travel and Tourism can help locate meeting space, check hotel availability, and arrange for site inspections. Kansas Travel and Tourism can also link planners with the suppliers, from motor coach companies and caterers to off-site entertainment venues, that can help meet the prerequisites of any event.

No matter the size of the meeting being organized, from 50 to 50,000, all planners are encouraged to use Kansas Travel and Tourism.
