Regional Workshops & Industry Trainings
Across our expansive region, many tourism communities have actively sought out further trainings in key industry areas. Whether as a result of lack of DMO resource or lack of local expertise in any given area, TSO-sponsored trainings were an investment that gathered stakeholders in their communities to learn more from seasoned veterans about the professional opportunities and challenges before them. Investment for biennium was $5000.
Goals
Deliver trainings or workshops in several parts of the region; cover several different topics; invite new stakeholders to the table to learn more about tourism investments in their communities

Moving Forward
Strong regional appetite for more trainings in every community—these investments in our stakeholder’s professional development create increased local capacity in so many ways.
