Batman and Robin, Jordan and Pippen, Tourism and Economic Development: Great Dynamic Duos

Summary:

Join us for this Tulsa deep-dive as we discuss how tourism and economic development can often be seen as at best, unrelated initiatives, and at worst, competing ideals. This session will explain why that does not have to be the case and how the two departments work together for mutually beneficial outcomes to leverage Tulsa’s unique assets and appeal.

Learning Objective:

This session will effort to explain how tourism can lay the groundwork for future economic development thanks to talent acquisition and retention. Points covered will be specific examples of how tourism efforts directly led to economic growth in Tulsa and how that growth continues to fuel future travel and tourism initiatives.
