At the NEK Collaborative Summit the following items were selected from a list of action steps to be completed as a “priority” in their respective economic areas:
 
Tourism:
  1. Enhance internal organization of tourism related businesses and organizations to include NEKTTA and the Chambers.
  2. Establish a method to capture data from tourism businesses to help validate and/or establish the value of tourism to the region and individual communities.
  3. Identify the key target markets for the NEK
  4. Identify a clear brand identity for the region and eliminate the projection of multiple messages, etc through marketing.
  5. Engage in action to further the development of the hospitality workforce in the region.
At this time I am asking any individuals who would like to assist me in the efforts to either plan or execute this work in the months ahead to email me directly at:  Director@travelthekingdom.com.  You may wish to be involved to consult or you may wish to be involved to help take action – either way participation is as valuable as it is appreciated.
