The City of Plymouth is on the hunt for a few good men and women to steer their tourism ship into the future, citing an open call for those interested in joining the newly minted Destination Marketing Organization Advisory Board, per the City of Plymouth's official announcement.
City officials tossed out the line for applicants over 21, with a catch: you've got to be entangled in the local tourism scene to snag a spot on the board, they're looking for folks with know-how in tourism or hospitality, and applications must be dropped by 4:30 p.m. on May 1, it's a chance for those with skin in the game to weigh in on how Plymouth markets itself as a must-see Minnesota locale.
It's interview chairs at dawn as the City Council gears up to pick four standouts for their board, these lucky few will steer the marketing course for staggered terms with some getting an early dock date of January 2026 and others not pulling in until January 2027. Once aboard, these navigators will set sail on their duties commencing at the quarterly meetings that kick off at 10 a.m. sharp on the fourth Wednesday of January, April, July, and October.
Describing Plymouth’s DMO as something akin to a convention and visitors bureau; its mission is to cast a wide net, promoting Plymouth prairies to city sidewalks, to bolster events, grub spots, hotel havens, and anything that spells fun for tourists and dollars for the city, the DMO looks to enhance Plymouth's allure ensuring visitors open wallets wide while locals bask in the upgraded quality of life.
With four seats at the destination-marketing table reserved for business representatives to bring their A-game and three snug spots saved for city staff with the inside track on Plymouth's facilities or economic growth, it's all hands on deck for a board braced to chart a course for Plymouth's tourism and bring home the booty of a thriving local economy.
