County tourism committee invites officials on 'Taste of Bladen County' tour during Small Business Week
Summary
Representatives from the Mary Johnson Small Business Center and the tourism committee invited commissioners and staff to a county tourism tour scheduled for Wednesday, May 7, 9:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m., tying National Travel and Tourism Week to Small Business Week.
Representatives of the Mary Johnson Small Business Center and the county tourism committee invited Bladen County elected officials and frontline staff to a one-day tourism tour on Wednesday, May 7, designed to showcase local small-business tourism assets.
Denise (identified in the meeting as the Small Business Director at Leighton Community College) and other tourism committee members said the tour — scheduled to run from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on May 7 — will include site visits intended to give participants a “taste” of the county’s tourism offerings. The invitation noted the overlap of National Travel and Tourism Week with Small Business Week and said media will be invited to portions of the day.
Organizers asked commissioners to RSVP via email or through the chamber and said the tour will be casual and include light hiking; they also said the itinerary cannot visit every tourism site in the county. No board action or funding request for the tour was recorded at the meeting.
