Join in for an interactive discussion with Cheryl Hargrove to learn the benefits of cultural heritage tourism and how it contributes to the bigger picture of sustainable tourism in New England. Cultural and Heritage Tourism is one of the fastest growing segments of the travel industry. Studies show that heritage travelers stay longer at their destination, spend more money and tend to put money back in the communities they visit. Over the years, travelers have outgrown homogenized places and are now looking for unique, authentic experiences. The goal of this Conference is to forge a new vision, expand and develop cultural & heritage tourism for the benefit of our region's economy, residents and the tourism industry.
