NCTMN Summit

The North Coast Tourism Management Network is a dynamic gathering of tourism stakeholders from the North Oregon Coast. This spring, the network will be hosting a Summit focused on collaboration, learning, and shaping regional tourism. Rooted in the unique challenges and opportunities of the North Coast, this event provides a platform to connect, share insights, and evaluate tourism management strategies and opportunities.

This year’s summit will center on key strategic priority areas that reflect the needs and values of North Coast communities, including:

• Improving and Diversifying Transportation Options: Encouraging visitors to explore alternate ways of traveling to and among coastal communities to reduce congestion and increase sustainability.
• Enhancing Outdoor Recreation Experiences: Supporting stewardship practices and improving access to outdoor spaces, while balancing use at popular destinations.
• Encouraging Stewardship Practices: Promoting care for the region’s sensitive natural resources and landscapes through consistent education and messaging.
• Championing the Value of Tourism: Highlighting the positive economic and social impacts of tourism, while emphasizing destination management and stewardship as tools for community and environmental resilience.
• Improving Accessibility: Ensuring that tourism experiences are inclusive and welcoming for all, from accessible trails to beach access, and fostering greater inclusivity in the region’s tourism infrastructure.
• The summit brings together land managers, tourism professionals, businesses, nonprofits, chambers of commerce, and local (city and county) government leaders to engage in conversations about the North Coast’s evolving tourism landscape. Participants will have the opportunity to learn what’s happening along the North Coast and throughout Oregon, share challenges and opportunities, and collaborate to ensure a thriving, sustainable future for the region.

Whether you’re managing visitor impacts, protecting natural resources, or supporting the local economy, the NCTMN Summit is the place to connect, learn, and engage with the future of tourism management on the North Oregon Coast.
