These sporting events bring people to Rapid City in a time when tourism is low," says Domico Rodriguez, sports and events sales director at the Rapid City Convention and Visitors Bureau. "They allow people to enjoy all that Rapid City has to offer even when it's cold, and they positively impact Rapid City's economy by bringing in families from all over the region."
The Rapid City CVB is a division of the Rapid City Area Chamber of Commerce. The CVB's mission is to market the Rapid City area as a convention and leisure destination and to promote economic growth that will enhance the area for visitors and residents.
