"RedBud Awards represent the highest honor given in the Oklahoma tourism industry," said Debra Bailey, President/CEO of the OTIA." This year, we received entries on behalf of outstanding tourism efforts from all across our state."

The Oklahoma City CVB's site - VisitOKC.com - has been recognized by other travel and tourism industry organizations since launching its latest version. This includes receiving a 2012 Bronze Adrian Award from Hospitality Sales and Marketing Association International.

As Simpleview was a partner on VisitOKC.com, we are excited that this forward-thinking bureau has been continually recognized for their site and hard work. This site is just one small step the team is taking to attract visitors to this hip, spirited destination that blends their deep western heritage.
