A bus loaded with more than 30 members of the local tourism industry is making stops around town Monday for the Show Me St. Joe tourism workshop.

The Convention and Visitors Bureau said the workshop’s focus is to create an awareness of what St. Joseph has to offer, foster community pride, teach the importance of tourism in Buchanan County and stress the significance of business and resident involvement in attracting visitors.

Participants are making stops at various museums throughout the day, including Patee House, Jesse James Home, Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art, St. Joseph Museums and the Pony Express Museum.

According to the CVB, the workshop has been taking place for more than 15 years and had graduated over 2,000 participants from local museums, hotels, attractions, banks and restaurants and more.
