Listing Resources
Memory-makers travel with their values on their sleeves, and they want more when they plan their trips – more insights, more transparency and to know what it will really be like when they get here. Many travelers spend weeks, even months, researching a destination before they book their vacation and most of that research is done online. So, we’re helping travelers make their research – and the decision to book – even simpler by offering new features you can highlight in your TravelWisconsin.com business listing.
The features are available for all place listings and will appear on the right of the details tab as you add or edit a listing. Please update your current listings as applicable and apply these attributes to any relevant future listings. For more information on creating a listing, click here.

Diverse-owned Businesses
Based on the 2021 McKinsey Inclusive Consumer Survey, two-thirds of U.S. consumers said their social values shape their shopping choices and they intentionally seek diverse-owned businesses. On TravelWisconsin.com, you can select from our diverse-owned business attribute group to provide another layer of detail for your place listings.
To select any of the diverse-owned business attributes, the business must be at least 51% owned, controlled and actively managed by one of the following groups:
- Veteran-owned
- Owned by people with disabilities
- Woman-owned
- LGBTQ+-owned
- Native American-owned
- Black-owned
- Hispanic-owned
- Asian American/Pacific Islander-owned (includes Asian Indian, Asian Pacific or Native Hawaiian)
Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Stations
EV registrations were up 60% in 2022, according to Car and Driver. As a result, travelers with electric vehicles are searching for more charging options to embark on longer road trips. This means these travelers will likely spend more time and money in your destination. You can now highlight if your location has EV charging stations.
