Dear Members, Regardless of where your inn is located, here is a great opportunity that we can all take advantage of and benefit from! AOT, in collaboration with the Arizona Game and Fish Department, is offering a workshop geared toward developing wildlife viewing as a tourism attraction. More than 1.3 million people participate in Arizona’s wildlife viewing contributing nearly $1.2 billion dollars annually to the state’s economy. The goal of this workshop is to become aware of statewide opportunities that the viewing customers brings, as well as how to meet their expectations and have them return for more. Also, there will be some discussion on the activities and collaborations behind the scenes that help communities and businesses capitalize on the interests of this large and growing segment of the population. Topics include: Partnerships, Economic benefits, Benefits of wildlife/birder oriented programs, What makes a wildlife-watcher friendly attraction, Who are the customers and what are they looking for and more. Registration information below:
