Iowa welcomes our friends to the North, South, East and West!

The Iowa Tourism Office has officially kicked off its spring marketing campaign. We’re not only reaching out to Iowans, but also to our neighbors in Chicago, Kansas City and Minneapolis.

The multi-faceted marketing campaign has been designed to encourage Midwesterners to visit traveliowa.com to plan their family vacation.

This year's campaign includes:

• Four, 15-second TV spots
• Digital banner ads on lifestyle and travel-related websites
• Full-color print ads in popular parents and lifestyle magazines
• Travel messages in the Mall of America in Minnesota; Stratford Square and Woodfield Malls outside of Chicago; and Oak Park Mall in Kansas City.
• Giveaways on the Tourism Office's Facebook page
• Vacation conversations on Facebook, Twitter and the Travel Iowa blog

Our goal is to showcase Iowa as an attractive, affordable, easy-to-get-to family destination. So  be sure to check out http://www.traveliowa.com/ or any of our social media channels for great vacation ideas.

Have great Iowa vacation photos? We'd love to see them! Tag and share your photos on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or Flickr. Tag Travel Iowa or use the #iowasnapshots hashtag.
