December 18, 2006-- The Mississippi River Parkway Commission – byway organization of the Great River Road Scenic byway - and the Tourism Directors of the 10 Mississippi River states who work collectively as Mississippi River Country, USA, have collaborated to develop a fresh brand for tourism in the Mississippi River region: "Experience Mississippi River – Ten states. One river." The brand was unveiled on ExperienceMississippiRiver.com, a new, all-inclusive tourism site showcasing a wide array of experiences to be enjoyed along this mighty waterway as it journeys through the heart of the United States. Travel, history, culture, and recreation come together in cities along the river's banks, and ripple out to influence hundreds of exciting venues and attractions throughout each of the ten river states.

The new format of the website includes two sections, Along the River and Beyond the River, providing visitors a one stop shop for travel planning throughout the entire Mississippi River region.
