Discover Odessa is partnering with Visit Midland in celebration of National Travel & Tourism Week 2023 to bring you the Sister City Bus Tour from 8:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. April 29.
The tour will start in each city (Odessa and Midland) and end in its sister city, with a chance to tour the oldest residence homes and the Bush family homes that are shared attractions between the two cities. The guided tour will make four stops, where you’ll learn about the history behind each local attraction. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to win fun prizes and enjoy snacks from local businesses.
