There are two webinar modules remaining of the Heritage Tourism for the North Central Region Series:
Session 6: November 1, 2012 - Implementing Heritage Tourism (2:00 PM - ET)
Possibly the most important component is actually doing it. This session will look at product development services within your community, the process and techniques for marketing your community, the importance and tools for hospitality, resources to help your community move forward in its efforts, and provide an overall look at implementing your efforts. Implementation is the actual doing of heritage tourism and making it a viable economic effort for your community and this session will promote a discussion on how that has been accomplished in communities.
Session 7: November 15, 2012 – Evaluating and Renewing Heritage Tourism (2:00 PM - ET)
How will you know if heritage tourism is a success for your community? How will you know how best to adapt and continue your efforts to keep it a viable economic generator for your community. Evaluation is a tool to use in the formulation and the assessment of your efforts. This session will look at the life cycle of heritage tourism efforts and products, how to conduct effective evaluations and determine the impacts of heritage tourism efforts on your community, as well as looking at evaluation and impact tools you can use. Knowing what is working and what is not helps in making future efforts successful.
