2023 OCVA Strategic Investment Fund
OCVA has created an annual Strategic Investment Fund (SIF) to rapidly and surgically respond to coastal tourism needs and priorities. OCVA has committed to the Glasgow Declaration and has released a 10-year Mitigation, Adaptation and Resiliency Plan.
For the 2023 cycle, funds will be focused on Sustainable Storytelling on the Oregon Coast. According to a 2022 report by Expedia Travel Group, 90 percent of consumers look for sustainable options when traveling. We want to help those consumers find coastal businesses that have brick-and-mortar locations prioritizing sustainability. A great way to do that is by developing marketing content.
