Mission Statement

To promote and encourage tourism in the Red River Valley bordering Oklahoma and Texas. We believe that a greater impact can be made collectively combining the resources and efforts of businesses, organizations, and individuals than any one entity can do alone!


History

The Red River Valley Tourism Association was formed over twenty years ago to help the smaller communities in Texas and Oklahoma that border the Red River advertise their attractions for tourists. It is the only tourism association in the United States that is dual registered in two states. This dual registry gives the members the right to distribute their brochures and promotional materials in the Travel Centers of both Oklahoma and Texas. The Association holds two Hwy 82/287 events annually to help promote tourism throughout the area. Towns along Hwy 82/287 welcome tourists to 425 miles of yard sales, antique sales and Junk in the Trunk events. Travelers come from near and far to explore the sales and their unique treasures.
