What are the costs and benefits of tourism? Who visits? Who stays? Is our brand of tourism sustainable? Who determines our brand? How do we care for the goose that laid the golden egg?
With the audience, our panel will ponder these questions and more as City Club explores the branding, promotion, and impact of tourism.
Panelists:
Damon Runberg: Regional Economist, State of Oregon
Carolyn Eagan: Economic Development Director, City of Bend
Kevney Dugan: President and Chief Executive Officer of Visit Bend, a non-profit entity
Moderator Bill Buchanan: attorney
