Community Sense of Place Initiative

In sustainable tourism development, it is essential to foster and protect community “sense of place” in order to balance the vitality of the tourism economy and quality of community experience for both residents and visitors alike. Toward that end, the Center is engaged in conducting research, sponsoring symposiums, and providing support in community and economic development to address the impacts of tourism development on community economics, business development, public policy, and community sense of place.
