What our Partners are Saying

Here’s what some of our 700 partner businesses have to say about Explore St. Louis’ vital efforts to promote our region.

I have been a partner of Explore St. Louis since 1991 and value the significant impact this proactive organization has on the region. Explore St. Louis not only promotes tourism and conventions, it promotes a positive image of St. Louis. Partnering with Explore St. Louis has enhanced the development of The Loop: first in the summer leisure travel months and now all year long. In addition to the excellent personal contacts Explore St. Louis staff make around the region and country, the most valuable element of partnership for The Loop is the Official St. Louis Visitors Guide that is also featured on the website.

Joe Edwards, Owner, Blueberry Hill and Moonrise Hotel

“We have been partners of the Explore St. Louis since the inception of my company in 1990. Our partnership has really been instrumental in our success, not only because of the networking opportunities with other partners, but with the many workshops and learning opportunities for me and my staff. The relationships that we have formed with local vendors, hoteliers, and the Explore St. Louis staff through the many events Explore St. Louis sponsors and hosts each year are invaluable.”

Julie Greenspoon-Kelly, President, Destination St. Louis
