Partnership is the only way to sustain Lake Tahoe
Reno Gazette Journal – March 19, 2024
By: Andy Chapman, President/CEO, Travel North Tahoe Nevada
In our pursuit to address challenges in Lake Tahoe’s economy, Travel North Tahoe Nevada (TNTNV) emphasizes the vital role tourism plays in shaping it. With direct spending of the Lake Tahoe tourism economy clocking in at just under $5 billion, producing a total economic impact over $10 billion, tourism serves as the backbone supporting small businesses, jobs, and the community in Tahoe.
However, Tahoe’s tourism reputation is marred by negative perceptions that cast a shadow over its positive contributions. Recognizing the importance of responsible travel, TNTNV is actively working on strategies to navigate these challenges through the Lake Tahoe Destination Stewardship effort. This year, we begin efforts to execute on our strategic plan to bring key action steps of the Destination Stewardship Plan to life. While there is not a one-size-fits-all solution, we are dedicated to fostering a more responsible tourism approach to ensure the sustained well-being of our community. READ MORE
