Port Angeles-Clallam tourism marketing session set today, Thursday

PORT ANGELES – A meeting to seek ideas and feedback on how to best market Port Angeles and Clallam County will be held today at 10 a.m. and on Thursday at 4 p.m.

The meetings, in a breakout room at the Vern Burton Community Center, 308 E. Fourth St., will be led by Russ Veenema, executive director of the Port Angeles Regional Chamber of Commerce.

Veenema sent an invitation to the meeting to the chamber’s members in the hospitality industry and to other “tourism-related members” earlier this month.

The meeting is open to the public.

“With the end of the 2007 tourism season just around the corner, it is definitely time to be detailing the marketing plan and media decisions for 2008,” Veenema wrote in a his e-mail.

“I would like to gather input from you as someone interested in the tourism product as to your thoughts of what has been working or not working and also solicit ideas for the future.

“After these input sessions [today and Thursday], I will be fashioning the marketing and media plan for 2008 which will be presented to the chamber’s board of directors at its Nov. 9 meeting.”
