| Dear ,
Register for the Civic Tourism 2 conference: the place for seekers who are "rethinking" community and tourism. It is time for tourism to become relevant: tourism has to present "reality land" to showcase the community. For example look at the Blackstone Valley:
As Tourism for Tomorrow says about Blackstone Valley:
"With an integrated, community-centered, resilient approach to tourism development, the Council has worked to help transform a polluted, spiritless landscape and river into an emerging visitor destination"
Come join us and learn more about how you can market and create your somewhere!!
