As COVID-19 restrictions lift, Iowa will see more events and tourism returning to regular scheduling in the summer of 2021.
“People weren’t able to get out as much as they might have preferred last year, so we’re anticipating a lot of people hitting the road,” said Jessica O’Riley, spokesperson for the Iowa Tourism Office. “I think there’s a lot of pent-up demand and people are going to want to get out of their home, and travel especially as they’re vaccinated and feel more comfortable getting out and about with other people.”
