Tourism Group arranges community forum

Friday, March 6, 2020

From 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday, the North Coast Tourism Management Network will organize a community forum on the industry at the McMenamins Gearhart Hotel.

“The North Coast is clearly entering a new part of its destination ‘lifecycle,’” Kristin Dahl, vice president of destination development for Travel Oregon, said in a news release. “Key to moving forward will be finding the right balance between the economic and social benefits of tourism, and the impacts that high visitation can have on traffic, local services, natural resources and quality of life.”

Topics of discussion will feature the history of North Coast tourism along with the impact, trends, and sustainable practices and the way other communities are handling the problem.

The North Coast Tourism Management Network represents 24 organizations and agencies from Astoria to Pacific City.
