State Are there tourism programs that are needed in your state/region that you are unable to offer but wish you could? SD Eco-tourism NE We have specialist expertise, but we need Educators to partner to offer the education broader IL there might be, but i’m not familiar with them. MO Unsure KS Not sure. Not sure if First Impressions counts as such, or a support of such. We have that in our state though. IN Generally, I feel the opportunity (for us in Community Development) is integrating tourism into our economic development and placemaking programs. MN We are working on expanding our work in agritourism and have connected across the US with Extension specialists doing this work. ND Unsure of all of the programs available but very limited staffing does not allow us to do much work with tourism development. WI Place-based and natural amenity-based tourism (e.g., agritourism, recreation, natural amenities, unique identity, downtown business districts, etc.); pandemic relief for tourism-based businesses (e.g., funding, strategies, alternatives); market/communication strategies; tourism and Tribal communities; inclusive tourism working with/across diverse consumers, locations, and communities.
