The Jenks Chamber recently launched a website to bring in tourists to Jenks. DiscoverJenks.com launched with information related to Independence Day celebrations in Jenks and Sharklahoma, the month-long celebration of sharks and Jenks.

“Tourism is an important aspect of economic development,” said Jenks Chamber Director of Communications Lane Castleberry. “Discover Jenks is part of our larger efforts to promote tourism in the Jenks community.”

Castleberry noted that the website is a Version 1.0 and that 2.0 will be launched later this year with more information, attractions, a community calendar and restaurant listings.

According to the Oklahoma Department of Tourism, travel and tourism in Oklahoma generated $9.6 billion in direct spending by an estimated 21.5 million visitors in 2018.

Discover Jenks will also have a social media presence and will also continue to be the brand of the Jenks Chamber’s annual business and tourism magazine.
