Branson Tourism Center reaches 3 million ticket milestone

When Peggy Barthel and her husband from Florence, MS walked up to check in for their five night six day Branson vacation in the lobby of the Branson Tourism Center today they knew something special was going on when hundreds of blue and white balloons cascaded down from the ceiling around them and everyone in the lobby started applauding and celebrating. As they were greeted by Lianne Milton, the owner of BTC and the cast of one of the most popular shows in Branson and the first show on their itinerary, SIX, the Barthels discovered that they had purchased the 3 millionth Branson show and attraction ticket sold by the Branson Tourism Center (BTC).

Bluegrass and BBQ Festival adds to Silver Dollar City fun and entertainment

The sounds of people laughing and having fun at Silver Dollar City in Branson will be mingled with the sounds of Bluegrass music and the aroma of BBQ throughout the park as SDC celebrates its Bluegrass & BBQ Festival through June 3. "It's the best of all worlds," said Tammy Johnson, the Director of Operations for the Branson Tourism Center, Branson's largest and most respected vacation planning service, "all the rides and excitement of a world class theme park; lots of Bluegrass music performed by some of the finest Bluegrass artists in the country and a cornucopia of just about every style of BBQ there is accompanied by over 100 different sauces.."

TripAdvisor names Branson in Top 25 in 2012 Travelers' Choice ® Destinations Awards

"Branson's naming as a top 25 U.S. Destination in the 2012 TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice® Destinations Awards, along with destinations such as New York City, New York; San Francisco, California; Chicago, Illinois; Las Vegas, Nevada; Honolulu, Hawaii; Orlando, Florida and others, might surprise some who have never experienced it, but not the majority of the tens of millions who have," said Stephanie Milton, director of marketing for the Branson Tourism Center, one of Branson's largest and most respected vacation planning services. In a press release announcing the awards, Barbara Messing, chief marketing officer for TripAdvisor said, "For travelers planning their big annual vacation or just a weekend getaway, these awards highlight awe-inspiring travel locations of all varieties around the globe."

The Finalists Live - phenomenal entertainment that shows why

At first blush, "The Finalists Live" provides those who have said, "Branson needs a show that will appeal to a younger demographic" with an answer to their prayer. What more could they ask for, five of the most talented vocalists in the nation, as proven by their performance on the hit show "American Idol," not only singing some of today's most popular songs, but original music they have written. However, after experiencing this show, I can say it is all of that and so much more.

Branson Becomes Missouri's First Purple Heart City

The supporting and honoring of our Nations Veterans, Active Duty Military and their families is an inherent part of the heritage, tradition, spirit and fabric of what makes Branson such a unique and special place. With the expected passing of a resolution "Proclaiming the City of Branson As A Purple Heart City, (Proclamation)," at its May 8 Board of Aldermen Meeting and its receipt on behalf of the Military Order of the Purple Heart (MOPH), by Everett Kelly, Commander of the MOPH Department of Missouri, Branson will become the first Missouri City to become a "Purple Heart City."

Newly remodeled Americana Theatre reopens amid whirlwind of entertainment

Although the tornado that hit Branson on February 29 left the vast majority of Branson's theatres and attractions unscathed, those few it hit have had to meet some major challenges. When the curtain goes up on the "Cassandre' Haygood & Friends Show" at 10 AM on May 22 in the Americana Theatre it not only signifies that the theatre, its staff and four shows have met those challenges, but that every Branson theatre impacted by the storm has reopened and is running under their normal schedule except for the Branson Variety Theatre which is currently scheduled to reopen on September 1.

Joseph is simply spectacular inspirational entertainment

Simply put, many who have seen Sight and Sound Theatre's Joseph have the same feelings about the show as did Arlan A, who, along with his wife, attended the show with us recently. He described Joseph as an "Entertaining, spectacular and inspirational production that he recommends highly." In fact, everyone whom this writer has talked to, who has seen the show since its April Branson Premier has loved it with, as impossible as it seems, many saying they enjoyed it more than "Noah The Musical." That's saying a lot!

Treehouse Condominiums provides spectacular vacation "view"

"Along with Silver Dollar City, Table Rock Lake is one of Branson's biggest attractions," said Tammy Johnson, the Director of Operations for the Branson Tourism Center. "In terms of lodging, the Treehouse Condominiums offers not only virtually traffic free access to both, but one of the most spectacular views of Table Rock Lake and our scenic Ozark Hills.
