In this months feature from Your Town A Destination,Rule #2 Roger and Maury talk about the rule of relationships, and how they require more than one person. In this chapter, they also explain how building relationships between business, agency and government is such an important role in developing tourism strategies.
This month we would like to feature two key success stories about partnerships, both developed during the five year span of the Tourism Knowledge Cluster. The partnership between National Geographic and The Crown of the Continent, and the geotourism Mapguide that was created which covers South Eastern British Columbia into Alberta and down to Montana, and the partnerships developed through the Tourism Cluster .
Check out these business features and more in the April issue of Rockies Tourism Networker newsletter.
