Creating a Vision for Community Tourism
North Central Washington Tourism Workspace
State of Washington Tourism, in partnership with a comprehensive local steering committee, is offering a series of workshops in North Central Washington as part of a program aimed at creating a thriving and sustainable regional tourism and outdoor recreation economy.
This program offers a unique opportunity for local leaders and people working in the tourism
and outdoor recreation sectors to collaborate and align their efforts. The goals include creating
a vision of success, learning about global and international trends, and working together to
identify strategies to improve the visitor experience and enrich the local and regional
