Dear Phil,
Spring is in the air! And with that, the feeling of excitement about what comes next!
As we celebrate The Future of Travel during National Travel & Tourism Week May 1 through May 7, this time provides us with the opportunity to focus on Tourism’s critical role in the health of Door County’s economy and helps strengthen our community’s economic position providing opportunity for all our residents. It is the primary reason such a wide variety of restaurants, parks, entertainment venues and attractions are available throughout Door County for all to enjoy. Tax dollars generated from visitors also financially support local governments and have helped pay for park upgrades and public green space expansions.
We are also celebrating the announcement of our organization evolving into a partner organization, from a member dues-paying organization. What does that mean? It means current members will not receive dues renewal invoices this year, and moving forward any business, organization, or non-profit is now welcome to participate in our programs. Please read the article on page 1 of our April 29, 2022 newspaper insert to get more detail.
I am looking forward to experiencing my first summer in Door County and participating in the arts, history, outdoor recreational activities and of course our incredible culinary options! AND I look forward to the chance to meet every one of you, our partners, as together we will continue to move our industry forward in a positive and thoughtful manner. The future of tourism does look bright!
