The Shasta Cascade Wonderland Association hosted the 3^rd Annual Regional Tourism Summit last Tuesday, and it was a great success. Professionals from the travel and tourism industry all over the region showed up to hear keynote speaker Berkeley Young and to network with each other.

The Summit stressed the importance of the tourism industry for the overall economy. These statistics were printed in the Redding Record Searchlight, “Tourism in Shasta County in 2007 generated $365.2 million, according to the California Travel and Tourism Commission. Some 4,680 jobs were created by the industry in 2007.”

Vacationers are going to stay closer to home this season, and this region is ready for them!
