Meet the Dawes County Travel Board
This is Northwest Nebraska, and there's No Better Direction.
Mission Statement
The Dawes County Travel Board promotes Northwest Nebraska and seeks to improve visitor experience while advising the Board of Commissioners in the administration of proceeds from tax revenue provided by the Nebraska Visitors Development Act.
The Dawes County Travel Board (DCTB) is comprised of seven members who volunteer their time to promote, encourage and attract visitors to the Dawes County and encourage the use of travel and tourism facilities within the county. The Dawes County Improvement and Promotion Funds are allocated by the board, which are to be used for visitor attractions and facilities improvement or promotion of area events.
