Are you ready to welcome tourists (and their spending)?
A collaborative effort to create a marketing plan to promote the Copper Corridor in Eastern Pinal County as a tourist destination for outdoor and recreational activities has been launched by community leaders and businesses in the region. The purpose is to create new local economic activity in the region.
The effort follows the issuance of a report that indicated potential economic, social and environmental benefits could result from promoting tourism in the area from Superior in the north to Oracle in the south. Published in late 2016, the report was conducted under the supervision of Dr. Christine Vogt, director of the Center for Sustainable Tourism at Arizona State University, with an assist from the Arizona Office of Tourism, for the Copper Corridor Economic Development Coalition (CCEDC).
