What is the Congress of Minnesota Resorts
All About
Our Mission
The Congress of Minnesota
Resorts exists to help family owned and operated
resorts in Minnesota to continue as a viable
segment of the Minnesota tourism industry.
Our Motto
The Congress of Minnesota
Resorts’ motto is “Resorters
Helping Resorters.” We believe
that none of us is as smart as all of us.
Marketing
A major benefit to
our members is a listing on this web site. Members
are able to easily edit and customize their listing.
As potential guests
click from the CMR site to yours, the results
pay big dividends to you. Our web site is promoted through various media such as print advertising, television ads, and through internet advertising such as links, banners and search engine placements.
Education
This is something
that the Congress of Minnesota Resorts is really
good at! Every year we hold a one day Spring
Workshop and a 2½ day Fall Conference.
We also sponsor the School of Resorting and an
online “chat room” through Yahoo
Groups, and publish a monthly member newsletter
and a quarterly magazine with wide distribution.
Past issues of the newsletter and magazine are
available on this website. These are all
ways for resorters to get together, learn from
one another about resorting and just plain have
fun!
Legislative Action
The Congress of Minnesota
Resorts assures you of having your voice heard
as a resort at the State Capitol. The Congress
of Minnesota Resorts hires a lobbyist to represent
resorts at the state
level. Also, our
legislative committee keeps members abreast of
legislation affecting the resort industry.
