tourism summit

The face of tourism is changing. Interest in new attractions, customers desiring green tourism, Minnesotans who are less connected to the outdoors, and groups seeking interactive experiences are part of tourists changing expectations. Join business people from throughout our region to learn about and discuss these topics.

Whitefish Lodge & Suites, Crosslake

The Waves of Welcome campaign was created to welcome visitors to the region and put a friendly, helpful face on every business in the region, as well as offer a simple way for businesses to show their appreciation to visitors for their financial contribution to the local economy. It's both an educational and promotional campaign.

Businesses may participate in this campaign by showcasing special "Welcome" signage available at the Chamber and by asking employees to wear "welcome" buttons and be extra friendly and helpful to visitors. The Chamber is also asking any business that utilizes a street-front marquee to have their sign say "welcome." Special training "tip cards" are also available to help encourage businesses and their employees to help put the community's best face forward.
