SUMMARY:Brookings Tourism Ambassador Certification

Whether they are here for a campus visit\, a medical appointment\, or a weekend tournament\, their first impression of our community starts with you. \nThe Brookings Tourism Ambassador program is designed to help you turn a simple transaction into a warm welcome that makes people think\, “I could see myself living here.” \nWhy this matters for our future: \n\n\nFrom Visitor to Resident: A friendly face and a helpful answer can be the deciding factor for someone considering Brookings as their new home. \n\n\nBuilding a “Home” Feeling: When you can confidently answer\, “What’s there to do around here?” or “Where is a great place to eat?”\, you help newcomers navigate our city and feel like they belong. \n\n\nEconomic Vitality: Tourism doesn’t just bring in outside dollars—it builds the reputation of Brookings as a premier place to live\, work\, and invest. \n\n\nThis certification goes beyond basic customer service. It explores the power of tourism as a driver for community growth and provides the community resources needed to make every guest feel like a local. \nHelp us roll out the red carpet and show the world why Brookings is more than just a destination—it’s home. \nBe a Champion for Brookings.
