Northern Forest Tourism Network
Collaborating to Create a World Class Destination – Join Us!Discussion
3/29/12: We have invested considerable network focus on creating solid inventories of work and research already underway in each of our three focus areas: research, training, and product development. We are now moving into action mode, and are considering the development of some top quality Northern Forest itineraries to help visitors plan and undertake truly regional experiences.
What do you think of the idea of regional itineraries? Would you like to be involved?
11/17/10: We are 6 months out from the May 2011 Northern Forest Summit. With that date as a target, we are focused on gathering some very specific information to guide our priority action area work.
Developing an inventory of tourism training, Northern Forest research, and regional tourism products is a key part of the work that we need to do in the next 6 months. We will be launching a web survey to solicit input, but please weigh in now with any specifics you would like to share, or more general shaping questions.
9/14/10: Summer is a busy season in the Northern Forest for tourism practitioners. Our current newsletter edition is a collection of stories and examinations of what’s happening, what’s working, what’s emerging.
