Oregon\u2019s communities and destinations have been impacted by COVID-19, wildfires and significant social and civic unrest. As communities rebuild and reimagine their tourism offerings in a manageable, sustainable way, it can stimulate the local economy, protect and enhance local resources and foster community pride. In advance of what we anticipate will be a very active summer travel season, Travel Oregon\u2019s Destination Ready program aims to partner with Oregon\u2019s tourism destinations\u2014geographic areas consisting of a set of resources and attractions that are visited by tourists\u2014to bolster key tourism products and experiences that will aid in destination recovery and resiliency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program is led by Travel Oregon\u2019s Destination Development (DDEV) department, which has a strong history of engaging with tourism destination organizations and partners to support the development of the key visitor experiences, businesses and organizations that make up a destination\u2019s fabric. To continue this work amid unpredictable industry conditions, DDEV has curated a set of visitor experience project categories and associated projects<\/a> that are available to destination organizations for immediate funding and support by Travel Oregon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project awards can range from $10,000 \u2013 $50,000 in combined cash and consulting time per project category; all projects are expected to be \u201cshovel-ready\u201d and completed within six months of the execution of a financial agreement. This $250,000 direct investment program is part of a larger suite of investments Travel Oregon will be deploying in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
