Recreation Economy for Rural CommunitiesLetting Communities Lead their own Tourism Practices |
The United States of America aims to increase rural and small-town tourism by supporting local communities to take initiative over their own tourism development.
The Recreation Economy for Rural Communities planning assistance programme helps rural communities and small towns leverage the power of the growing outdoor recreation economy. The programme helps communities build their tourism economies while also conserving natural resources and directing reinvestment in main streets to improve human health and the environment.
This programme helped foster community revitalization, protect air and water quality and support economic growth and diversification for equitable and sustainable destination management.
