The Partner Portal is North Dakota tourism’s partner-generated database of things to see and do in North Dakota. Putting your businesses, attractions, activities, places to stay, or events into the Partner Portal is a free way to connect with the large, highly qualified audience of readers and potential travelers who visit NDtourism.com to look for travel ideas and inspiration. This free marketing tool provides a valuable platform for tourism-related businesses in North Dakota to reach a national audience. The Partner Portal is also one of the primary tools North Dakota Tourism uses to determine time-sensitive events and activities to promote.

Providing accessible travel is not only socially imperative but it is also a business opportunity. A recent study found that travelers with disabilities would increase their travel budget if accessibility barriers were eliminated. It is vitally important that you, our partners, update your listings to reflect all the amenities available at your attraction or lodging facility, including your accessible options.

As society becomes more aware of diverse needs, the expectations for hotels, attractions, and events are shifting from mere compliance to creating a truly welcoming environment for people of all abilities. Create an environment where everyone, regardless of ability, can fully participate and enjoy what’s being offered at attractions, accommodations and events.

Travelers choose sustainable businesses because they align with a growing desire to minimize environmental impact, support local communities, and have a more ethical and meaningful travel experience. They see it as a way to leave a positive legacy rather than just a negative footprint and are often willing to pay more for these options.
