THANK YOU
In recent years, our little home in the Pacific Northwest
has gotten a lot of attention. We’re flattered.
People can’t seem to say enough about Oregon.
And fortunately we have all the right people in the
right places to handle all this praise.
On behalf of the travel and tourism industry in Oregon, we
extend our heartfelt appreciation to the following for hosting
the 2016 Oregon Governor’s Conference on Tourism:
Wildhorse Resort & Casino
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation
Pendleton Chamber of Commerce
Travel Pendleton
Happy Canyon
Tamastslikt Cultural Institute
Eastern Oregon Visitors Association
SAGE Center
Mid Columbia Bus Co.
Oxford Suites Pendleton
Pendleton Whisky
Rooster’s Restaurant
Sno Road Winery
Hamley Steakhouse
Virgil’s at Cimmiyotti’s
The Prodigal Son Brewery and Pub
Pendleton Coffee Bean & Bistro
Outwest Catering
These businesses showed the true spirit of hospitality, providing exceptional food,
drinks, service and entertainment to those who know tourism best. Because of
the region’s strong community support, this year’s conference was one for the
records. From packed workshops to incredible performances at Happy Canyon,
the recipient of the Oregon Heritage Tourism Award, everyone left the conference
inspired by the impact of tourism and eager to return to your welcoming corner of
the world for the chance to get to experience more and know you better.
Our little state is growing up fast. Thank you for helping the transition go smoothly.
WE LIKE IT HERE. AND, THANKS TO YOU, WE KNOW OUR VISITORS DO TOO.
