Welcome to the February 2010 issue of the Northern Forest Tourism Network!  In this newsletter, we introduce some new voices and new perspectives on organizing tourism in our rural region.  And we invite you not only to respond to these voices with your own ideas, but also to help us create a better map of who / what / where shapes the geography of rural tourism in the Northern Forest Region.  We will be building on this map at our Northern Forest Tourism Network Gathering on Thursday, March 11 in St. Johnsbury, VT.  Please join us both in building the map and at the event itself.  It is our belief that by working collaboratively, we can create greater capacity and outcomes for our region.    As always, your input and contributions on these and other topics are ALWAYS welcome.  Have ideas now?  Share them on our blog.

Please feel free to share this e-mail with other tourism practitioners, and don’t hesitate to contact Kate Williams with any questions.
