Logan County Tourism Bureau invites residents to help shape the future of tourism in Logan County
Community listening sessions to gather feedback on the draft tourism strategic plan

[May 21, 2026]  The Logan County Tourism Bureau is inviting residents, business owners, community leaders, and tourism stakeholders to attend a series of community listening sessions aimed at helping shape the future of tourism in Logan County.

The sessions are part of the Bureau’s ongoing strategic planning process, which began earlier this year with a county-wide tourism survey designed to identify local assets, challenges, opportunities, and priorities. Feedback from that survey was used to create a draft strategic plan focused on strengthening tourism experiences across Logan County’s communities.

“We believe the people who live here know Logan County best — what’s working, what’s missing, and what kind of future they want to build,” said Molly Pickering, Board President of the Logan County Tourism Bureau. “These listening sessions are an opportunity to make sure the strategies we create are truly rooted in our communities and shaped by the people who call Logan County home.

The draft plan includes recommendations focused on:

Better connecting and packaging Logan County’s tourism assets into clear visitor experiences

Building stronger collaboration and shared marketing among tourism businesses

Addressing lodging and other infrastructure gaps

Expanding family-friendly attractions and activities

Strengthening festivals, events, and year-round tourism opportunities

Community members are encouraged to attend a session in their area or in a neighboring village to review the draft recommendations, share feedback, and help prioritize future tourism efforts.
