2020 Recap Letter from the Marketing Director

This has been a hard year, there is no denying that. A year full of uncertainties, change, and navigating uncharted waters. During the last few months, I have received many calls, emails and messages regarding tourism and marketing of Otter Tail County; comments and concerns that the tourism industry is suffering. Otter Tail Lakes Country Association has been working tirelessly on your behalf to make sure that Otter Tail County is staying on the forefront of visitors’ minds when they are planning their vacation. And pivoting our marketing strategies to turn visitors into locals. I believe opportunities are to come.

We learned a lot over the past year. We learned that spending time with loved ones no matter where we are, is precious. We learned that we don’t have to travel far to have a great vacation. We learned new hobbies. We learned that we have amazing communities that support “the rising tide lifts all boats.” Most importantly, we learned that we are resilient; we are OTC strong. No matter what lies ahead we are all in this together!
