What We Do
Founded in 2001 by marketing professional Heather Lahren, Itineraries Inc. began with the simple idea of promoting group travel to Minnesota. Gaining the support of the local tourism industry, the company decided to broaden its horizons, changing its name from Itineraries Minnesota to Itineraries Midwest. As the company began to expand, so did its network. People wanted to see more. Heather took on more projects and over the years developed a variety of publications including our Travel Companion & Field Trips guide, Explore Native America, Explore Southern Minnesota, and Tournament Fishing Times. Now under the name Itineraries Inc., the company is approaching its ten-year anniversary and looks forward to new and exciting opportunities in the years to come.
