Partner Support
As a destination marketing organization, we promote the visitor experiences our partners offer. We strengthen our community by helping partners reach new audiences and by collaborating to create new opportunities. We share our partners’ stories in our marketing and messaging. In turn, we attract visitors to our destination; they can experience SoIN through the businesses that make up our destination.

Tourism Capital Development Fund
Unique among Indiana’s destination marketing organizations is SoIN Tourism’s Capital Development Fund, which is used to retire debt in the form of municipal bonds. These bonds are held by our city, town or county partners. The bonds act as seed money for public and private investment in tourism projects within Clark and Floyd counties.
