buffalo445Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News Jul 2, 2013) — The Buffalo City Tourism Foundation Board is mulling over the idea of changing the name to Tour Jamestown.

On Tuesday’s (Jul 2, 2013) Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Tourism Executive Director, Searle Swedlund said, the words “Buffalo City” doesn’t define the geographical area on Jamestown, North Dakota.

He added, with the world wide web searches Tour Jamestown would give a more global sense to the area.

He said a name change would also reference outdoor, and other activities available in the Jamestown area.

The Foundation Board continues to address marketing challenges, including how tourism has an impact on economic development.

Swedlund pointed out the the Foundation Board will meet on July 15, 2013 and will hear a presentation from two advertising agencies.

He noted the web site www.tourjamestown.com is being updated with information about tourism attraction in Jamestown and the area.

Swedlund said the upcoming drag races at Jamestown Regional Airport on July 27, 28 continues to grow each year, and also has a large economic impact on the Jamestown area. The Foundation Board recently approved a grant request to help buy a stager for the drag races.

Another tourism, economic impact on the area each year is the Ft. Seward Wagon Train.

Ramrod Delno Kleinknect says this year the wagon train attracted riders from 18 states and Germany.
