Our goal is to provide easy access to the types of information, data and analysis needed to make informed decisions and develop effective plans regarding the future.
Focal Points
Each blog in the chain covers a different subject. The focus of Tourism WV on West Virginia’s tourism economy. We’ll examine the role tourism and recreation plays in many areas of the state as a major provider of jobs and income, and consider the effectiveness of using tourism and recreation as a rural development strategy.
