The brochure will be 24 pages and include information about restaurants, attractions, festivals, agricultural tours, historical tours and other events and sites relevant to a travel group or visitor. The purpose for the production of this brochure is to increase the number of bus tours for Kosciusko County. In 1985 and 1986, the county received between $2-2.6 million to its market as a result of the tourism efforts of the chamber, according to chamber officials. The 1987 target is set at $2.3-3 million for a one-year period.
