SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Rick Certano, McCall Area Chamber of Commerce President, will present information on the Winter Recreation Survey Project. The Survey include all winter activities sectors and the lodging
sectors to better understand what visitors do when they are in the area, how they get here, why they come here, and how much money they spend. The goal will also be to understand the
opportunities to increase duration and frequency of visits. Winter recreations will include a variety of activities including but not limited to snowmobiling, Nordic skiing, backcountry
skiing, and Alpine skiing.
The McCall Area Chamber requested funding from the Idaho Travel Council and other stakeholders in the area. This is a regional economic effort to obtain actionable information to assist
in decision making on direction and opportunities to strengthen our regional tourism and recreational economy.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the request for $5,000 to the McCall Area Chamber of Commerce for the Winter Recreation Survey.
