At Visit Independence, our strategic priorities focus on increasing visitation, enhancing the overall visitor experience, and strengthening Independence’s tourism and hospitality industry. Achieving these goals takes collaboration, and we know our success depends on strong partnerships with the local businesses, attractions, and organizations that make our city a great place to visit.

As an industry partner, your business becomes part of a comprehensive destination marketing effort designed to reach travelers before, during, and after their visit. Partners receive promotional exposure across Visit Independence’s platforms, including our website, print publications, social media channels, e-newsletters, and other marketing initiatives. When visitors call or stop by our office, our team is ready to share information about your business and help guide travelers to the experiences you offer.

We also provide partners with access to our free Partner Extranet, a valuable tool that allows tourism-related businesses in Independence, Missouri, to manage their presence on VisitIndependence.com. Through the Extranet, you can update your listings, add events and photos, manage contacts, view leads, and stay informed about upcoming opportunities and initiatives. This self-service platform ensures your information is accurate, timely, and visible to potential visitors.

By working together, we amplify Independence’s story, strengthen our local economy, and create a more seamless and enjoyable experience for guests.
