The tri-state area is rich in tourism opportunities. In 1997 a task force was created to identify those opportunities and work together to promote the Tri-State region. A cooperative tourism brochure was produced in 1999 and was expanded and updated in 2001.
The goals of the tourism task force are to:
- Combine efforts and resources to market as a region using print and electronic media
- Cross-promoting tri-state events and attractions to encourage visitors to extend their stays and bring additional dollars into our tri-state economy
The tourism task force created a 2008 version of the multi-county marketing brochure featuring 20 communities from across the Summit region and is considering another publication after the 2011 Summit in October.
