Civic Tourism III
August 11–14, 2010
Fort Collins, Colorado

Civic Tourism’s mission is to "reframe" tourism's purpose from an economic goal to a tool that can help the public enhance what they love about their place. It provides a forum for citizens to decide if, how, and for what purpose the ingredients of place (cultural, built, natural) can be integrated to create a dynamic, distinctive, and prosperous community. Ideally, Civic Tourism involves all stakeholders to build strong partnerships between corporations, family-owned businesses, natural and cultural heritage resource sites and events, tourism attractions—everyone should have a voice and a place at the table. And at the Civic Tourism III conference, everyone will.
