Red Cloud, Ord and Ogallala to Host Tourism Workshops

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

Want to learn more about one of the fastest growing segments of the world’s largest business? If so, take the opportunity to attend one of the Watchable Wildlife/Nature Tourism Workshops coming to an area near you. Jim Mallman of Watchable Wildlife Inc. will be hosting several workshops to share insights into how entrepreneurs, outfitters, businesses, individuals, and municipalities can build sustainable nature-based tourism programs. Workshops will be held in:

* Red Cloud on May 18
* Ord on May 19
* Ogallala on May 20

“I am really excited about the three workshops we have scheduled for Nebraska. This offers Watchable Wildlife Inc. the opportunity to demonstrate the real power potential of Wildlife/Nature Tourism,” Jim says. “There are certainly benefits to be gained in any community by implementing a Wildlife/Nature Tourism Program. However our key interest is to work with communities where tourism is not the first thing they think of when wrestling with the challenges of promoting economic development. We hope to provide regional planners, business owners and residents with some ideas on how this can be done while preserving and enhancing the area’s natural treasures, historical sites and quality of life.” Jim hopes “to see you at one of these three workshops and have the opportunity to learn more about the real ‘Heartland’ of our country.”
The Workshops will begin at 8:30am and will run until 4:00pm with lunch and refreshments included. Fee is $25. Be sure to register before May 10th. After this date, the registration fee increases to $40.
For registration forms, please visit the Nebraska Development Network—Central Region website at www.ndncr.com, or if you have any questions, please contact Sharon or Jodi at (308) 995-3190.
The workshops are sponsored by the Nebraska Development Network – Central Region. This network is comprised of numerous local, regional and state economic and community development organizations. Several federal agencies such as USDA Rural Development and NRCS – Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) Councils also provide assistance to Network projects.
