Tourism is one of the top four drivers of economic growth. Because of the pandemic, many Americans continue choosing domestic travel over international, causing them to visit places by vehicle instead of by plane. With this domino effect, smaller communities are seeing a tourism increase as Americans branch out to see more of their home country.

When cities like Faulkton, SD make it a point to maintain their cultural heritage, traditions, and uniqueness, it strengthens their identity and increases visitor intrigue. This piqued interest enhances tourism and Faulkton welcomes domestic and international tourists.

Tourist Housing 

AirBnB and VRBO caused an eruption in the hospitality industry. Tourist housing is no longer restricted to expensive hotel chains or inconveniencing family members. This burst of lodging alternatives helped increase tourism to locations that didn’t have big-named or chained hotels as an option. Also, AirBnB and VRBO gave residents in Faulkton and across America the opportunity to enter the hospitality industry as business owners instead of customers or employees.
