With summer in full swing and budgets a bit tighter than usual, local tourism may have particularly good prospects.
The University of Wisconsin-Extension’s Center for Community and Economic Development has a host of resources developed for the 2009 Governor’s Conference that can help downtowns make the most of tourist season - this summer and throughout the year. Available resources include: Hospitality and Festival training; tips for Year-Round Marketing and Regionalization strategies; and creating a good First Impression as a community.
