Tourism is an important part of our economy, as many small businesses which serve our local community year round, depend upon the annual influx of visitors to make a profit each year.
There is a great group of local folks who work hard to bring visitors to our islands during the "shoulder season." I have the joy of serving as chair of this tourism committee which oversees the county promotional efforts and spending of 2% lodging revenues generated locally.
This community has much to offer from wineries, aquaculture, artisans, events and historic sites.
At our last meeting we learned about a new phone app where anyone can upload free activities to a calendar so visitors can quickly find interesting things to do as they travel here. Please help populate the information available for our area. There are some sweepstakes and interesting videos available through the Whidbey Camano website. I hope you will share this with friends and family who may want to visit soon. |
