12A • May 5, 2017 | Cannon Beach Gazette | cannonbeachgazette.com Music studio to hold vocal recital May 13 A powerful voice in tourism Snyder to chair Travel Oregon By Brenna Visser Cannon Beach Gazette T he tourism industry has a way of inter- twining with almost every aspect of Ryan Sny- der’s life. Whether it be managing one of his five hotels and restaurants as president of Martin Hospitality, or pick- ing up trash anytime he walks along the beach with his family, keeping Cannon Beach special seems to al- ways be at the forefront of his mind. Starting in July, that mindset will help him serve as the chairman of Travel Oregon and one of the most influential voices in tour- ism. The organization, cre- ated by the state Legislature in 2003, is responsible for promoting Oregon’s attrac- tions, including the “7 Won- ders of Oregon” campaign that highlighted the Oregon Coast. As chairman, he will lead the Oregon Tourism Commission, a nine-mem- ber board which approves and oversees the budget and strategic plan for the state’s $10.8 billion tourism indus- try. It will also be his job to articulate the mission of the Governor’s Office while offering guidance to Travel Oregon CEO Todd David- son. Sustainable tourism Snyder has served on the commission since 2011, and became vice chairman last year. While he antici- pates more responsibility and a higher frequency of meetings to attend, he said his commitment to sustain- able tourism will remain the same. “We are starting to feel a COLIN MURPHEY/EO MEDIA GROUP Ryan Snyder, the president of Martin Hospitality in Cannon Beach, gives a tour of the Public Coast Brewery on Monday. Snyder will become the chairman of Travel Oregon in July. push for resources,” Snyder said Monday, referring to towns like Cannon Beach that can bring in thousands of visitors during the peak summer season. “It’s im- portant, more than ever, to be mindful of these commu- nities with strategic man- agement.” Abstractly, his goal is to help balance the economic impact that helps provide 105,000 tourism-related jobs with listening to the needs of communities and operators within tourist at- tractions. Places like Multnomah Falls — the second most photographed spot in Or- egon — is an example of this, Snyder said. The at- traction’s popularity created parking issues, so Travel ‘IT’S IMPORTANT TO MAINTAIN OUR RESOURCES SO PEOPLE WHO WAKE UP THE NEXT MORNING STILL HAVE POSITIVE EXPERIENCES.’ —Ryan Snyder “It’s important to main- tain our resources so peo- ple who wake up the next morning still have positive experiences,” he said. Oregon worked with local communities to start a shut- tle service. He also said he sees en- vironmental organizations like SOLVE serving an im- portant educational role for the increase in day travelers coming from an expanding Portland metro area — a population who may not see their physical impact on a site during a short stay. Hospitality Snyder has been presi- dent of Martin Hospitality since 2004, but has been involved in many aspects of the hospitality industry for the majority of his life. Court Carrier, the execu- tive director of the Cannon Beach Chamber of Com- merce, works closely with Snyder, and said his experi- ence will make him a good fit. “He is truly one of the most committed people I know,” Carrier said. “He is extremely engaged and ex- perienced with this indus- try.” While he will act as a statewide representative as Travel Oregon chairman, Cannon Beach will always be in the back of his mind. “This city is very im- portant to me,” Snyder said. “When it comes to making decisions, if it’s not good enough for the state, than it’s not good for Cannon Beach, and vice versa.” Alaina Giguiere Marty Giguiere Owner/Principal Broker c: 503.440.3202 f: 877.812.1126 e: alainagiguiere@mac.com Owner/Broker c: 503.440.7676 o: 503.43t6.1777 e: mr007@pacifier.com Coastal Advantage 503.436.1777 • CoastalAdvantage.com Susan Tone Broker c: 503.354.4072 e: suanetone@nehalemtel.net Maryann Sinkler Andrea Mace Geri Lane Broker c. 503.440.9280 e: maryanns@remax.net Broker c. 503-440-4024 e: Andrea.k.mace@remax.net Broker c: 503.480.9846 e: gerilane@remax.net Hilary Herman Shelley Parker Broker c: 503-791-4718 e: HilaryHerman@hotmail.com Broker c: 503-739-1977 e: Shelley.Parker@mail.com Member of 2 MLS Systems Each office is independently owned & operated 79976 PACIFIC RD 167 AMBER 8820 PELICAN LI NE ST W IN G 89121 PINEHURST Providence Seaside Hospital of- fers a monthly diabetes self-man- agement class.
