Lake Greeson Caddo River Tourism is proud to support the State of Arkansas and our local communities in the Beautiful Ouachita Mountains of Southwest Arkansas and by being a Partner in Arkansas Tourism!
Our Mission Statement
Our Mission is to promote tourism to Arkansas, especially the Ouachita Mountain Area
of Southwest Arkansas including Arkansas Tourism Destinations on Lake Greeson, the Caddo River,
PLUS all the Tourism Attractions in Downtown Glenwood and Pike County,
which also promotes Arkansas rural tourism!
Due to the tough economic times we find ourselves in, making shorter trips for vacations has become a mainstay.
Rural areas in Arkansas have especially been hard hit with business closures as well as layoffs; thus the need to bring
more tourism to our area of Lake Greeson and the Caddo River in Southwest Arkansas has become essential, so others
can also enjoy the natural beauty the Ouachita Mountains have to offer and strengthen our local economy at the same
time, A True Win/Win for EVERYONE!
We are also working in conjunction with the City of Glenwood Arkansas, the Tourism/Hospitality Projects from Arkansas.com and the Arkansas Hospitality Association to help improve our Ouachita Mountain Communities to help our clients succeed!

Governor Beebe And Ginger Beebe Invite You To See Arkansas First!
During 2010, visitors to Arkansas resulted in $5.5 billion in total travel expenditures, $285 million in state taxes and $104 million in local taxes. The Arkansas travel industry employed 58,336 persons and paid $1 billion in wages and salaries.
Data from the 2011 Annual Report on Tourism
Communities all across Arkansas are making sure their citizens know how to roll out the red carpet for tourists. The Welcome to Arkansas program is the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism's effort to help Arkansans persuade visitors to linger awhile and see the sights in their town.
Participating towns receive lapel pins, window signs, customized laminated information cards and a DVD designed to help residents let visitors know they're welcome.
Hotels, restaurants, convenience stores and other Arkansas hospitality businesses participating in the program have received resources to help them give you great vacation ideas and tips, and you can expect their service to be nothing short of exceptional.
Look for the Welcome to Arkansas logo when selecting among lodging, dining and entertainment options. When you visit, keep your eyes open for businesses displaying Welcome to Arkansas window clings and buttons. Whenever you see a Welcome to Arkansas logo, you can be confident that employees are experts on all of the exciting destinations and peaceful retreats their regions have to offer. They'll let you know how much there is to see and do here. And with their knack for making people feel at home, you might even decide to stick around a little longer and enjoy the Arkansas hospitality.
Marko is also a Certified Trainer for the Welcome to Arkansas Program!
