We at NTC are doers. We want to help you move things ahead right from the start. It’s not that we can’t and don’t plan; our managing director is an expert in that. Yet, planning can get bogged down, and things never progress. So, instead, we’re offering an inexpensive full-service tourism jumpstart package to get your community into the tourism marketplace and move ahead to attracting visitors. Engage with us within the whole package for $19,000, which saves $3,000 if the components are purchased separately. Split the cost between the Chamber, Tourism, Economic Development, and the City for less than $5,000 each.
The Package Includes:
An Opportunity Assessment Inventory
