The Shared Economy
Are there tourism programs that are needed in your state/region that you are unable to offer but wish you could? AL Alabama would benefit from additional tourism assessment materials and conducting first impressions programs. Would like to engage in more of this type of work in the future. NC I’m sure there are plenty but while still carving out my role it is hard for me to decipher what specifically this is. I’ll likely be able to pinpoint quite a few in 6 months though. MS Coastal VA We need state level specialist support for agritourism, perhaps as part of a rural community development specialist focus. TX Commercial development GA Not at this time. Our state’s Georgia Department of Economic Development has a very active and robust tourism division. Link: https://www.georgia.org/industries/georgia-tourism GA Community tourism development, tourism destination planning, tourism destination branding, visitor profile studies, ROI studies examining the impact of Accommodation Taxes on tourism development. OK We have people working on tourism programs, but we lack a central theme and focus. AR Not sure how to answer this because we are fairly surface level in what we do related to tourism. Virgin Islands Yes
