Tourism

After a few days with temperatures in the mid and upper 80s, it seems a bit strange to be thinking about hitting the slopes, but soon, a gathering of skiers will be coming to Boise.

Over the last couple years, Airbnb has made a big mark as a great alternative to hotels and traditional home rentals.  A new bill signed by Governor Otter will keep Idaho "Airbnb-friendly."

You probably heard about the "North Carolina bathroom bill" that has caused a number of concerts, sporting events, and conventions to cancel.  Now, Boise and Idaho are benefitting.

Idaho didn't make the Top 10 on the list of bucket list states to visit, but it got me thinking about the big secrets that the Treasure Valley does offer, and I have to ask.  What's the one thing that's a must-do for visitors in Boise?

We might be great at keeping the sheets washed and clean at our own houses, but that little detail is beyond our control when we stay at a hotel.  Surely the housekeeping staff is washing the sheets after each guest, right?  Not always.  Ew.

We've heard study after study that highlights how amazing Idaho is, so perhaps it's no big surprise, our tourism industry has rapidly grown and is now our #3 industry in the state.

Maybe it's being at the top of all these "best state, best cities, best place to move" lists, but more people are choosing to visit Idaho which is great news for our economy.

The Boise National Forest is on the list.  What would you add?
