The tour will encourage discussion among participants in order to generate tourism projects and strategy ideas. Persons interested in the direc tion of tourism and develop ment efforts in Morrow Coun ty are encouraged to attend a meeting with tour officials on May 17 at 4-6 p.m. at the Hepp ner Ranger District Office for an open discussion on tourism and business opportunities. Public input is desired, said a news release. The North Central Regional Strategies Board, representing Morrow, Grant, Gilliam, Sher man, Wasco and Wheeler counties, has authorized Mi chael Wetter & Associates, a Salem-based consulting firm, to develop and implement a tourism strategic plan to help create a foundation for tourism growth and development in the region. An intensive tour of the six counties launches the two year project. The tour will identify attraction development, busi ness and downtown develop ment, and marketing oppor tunities. It originates in The Dalles on May 15, and returns there four days later. Representatives from the Oregon Economic Develop ment Department, the Division of Tourism, Rural Development Initiatives, Oregon State Parks, the John Day National Fossil Beds Monument, the U.S. Forest Service, and the Region al Strategies Board will par ticipate in the tour. They will be joined along the route by local officials, planners, businessper sons, organization represen tatives, and residents who will participate as the tour moves through each county. The consulting team led by Michael Wetter & Associates is taking a unique approach for this project. A multi-discipli nary team will meet informal ly with interested parties to brainstorm and trade ideas, in stead of having formal public meetings. "We want to change the way tourism planning is done," said Wetter, team lead er. "Planning in the past has been too much time writing reports and not enough time developing and implementing ideas v The people that we put ig the field will be looking for opportunities, solving pro blems, and providing real ex pertise to the business people, city managers, parks staff, and others that are on the front lines of the tourism economy." The tourism plan will serve as a blueprint for future tourism and economic develop ment in the region. Funding for the project was provided by the Regional Strategies Board, lot tery funds, and the U.S. Forest Service.
