Happy National Travel and Tourism Week!

Travel and Tourism are major parts of everyone’s everyday life, whether they realize it or not. When you think about travel in your own life, you may recall adventures and experiences you had on a vacation to a new place or even a staycation in your own city. That’s just the tip of the iceberg, but it’s still so important!

76 percent of employed Americans say a firsthand experience is instrumental in forming impressions of a community. 

In Columbia, we pride ourselves on being “what you unexpect” because we know how important it is to offer something different to visitors and locals alike. New Experiences can be anything from trying a new restaurant in town to throwing an ax at a target to watching 15 films at the True/False Film Fest. What’s wonderful is all these experiences (and countless others) can happen in Columbia.

Parks, trails, recreational activities, Columbia has it all! Stay tuned this week to see some of the unique experiences you can find in Columbia.

All wise adventurers know the importance of surrounding oneself with good people when looking for new experiences. Columbia is filled with the best people, and they know how to make magical experiences happen! We encourage everyone to Meet Columbia and put some names to faces of the people that make Columbia experiences so positively memorable.
