Tourism

Stimulate Your Local Economy Through Tourism

Tourism development is economic development – and economic development is working to create places where people want to be. In fact, tourism is in the top three industries related to economic impact in all 50 US states. Rural BaseCamp works with community, governmental, corporate, and nonprofit partners to develop a stakeholder team, shared vision and action plan to develop and market tourism, outdoor recreation and heritage travel assets in your community. We’ll help you identify opportunities and challenges and map out a plan to stimulate the local economy, while also planning to avoid the negative impacts of tourism. 

Outdoor Recreation

Build Your Outdoor Recreation Economy

Outdoor recreation is a significant and growing segment of the economy, serving as an engine for small business growth, contributing to the economic impact of tourism, and improving quality of life for rural communities. In terms of its contribution to GDP, the outdoor recreation industry rivals high-profile sectors like mining, agriculture and big pharma. Rural BaseCamp works with community, governmental, corporate, and nonprofit partners to develop a stakeholder team, shared vision and action plan to connect your community and visitors with area outdoor recreation assets.

Heritage Travel

Develop Your Heritage Tourism Opportunities

Heritage tourism is a growing niche market that helps preserve and promote a community’s history, culture and traditions – this includes historic sites, historic architecture, musical heritage, local art, regional foods and more. Efforts to preserve and promote historic resources can not only increase tourism, but revitalize neighborhoods, encourage private investment, and build a community’s sense of place. According to the National Trust for Historic Preservation, visiting historic sites or museums ranks only third behind shopping and outdoor pursuits for travelers in this country. Rural BaseCamp works with community, governmental, corporate, and nonprofit partners to develop a stakeholder team, shared vision and action plan to connect visitors and local citizens with your community’s heritage assets.
