What is the North Coast Tourism Management Network?

The North Coast Tourism Management Network seeks to enhance healthy, collaborative, sustainable relationships between coastal visitors, residents, and the environment.

We champion the value of tourism for our local economies while striving to minimize negative impacts of visitation and help guests become excellent stewards of the coast we call home.

We assist tourism organizations, industry stakeholders and network participants to increase the economic, social and environmental benefits of tourism in the region.

  • A core team of advisors from key partner organizations gives leadership and direction to the network and provides financial support and oversight.
  • A network manager coordinates the network’s activities and convenes the network and its teams.
  • Action teams from across partner organizations work on long-term destination management priorities.
  • Project teams tackle short-term solutions to immediate destination management challenges.
