Community, Business & Safety News

The 2022 Sustainable Rural Tourism Webinar Series kicks off at 11 a.m., on Monday, January 31 with an introduction to the concept. People interested in tourism and tourism professionals should plan to register online to attend throughout the year. Recordings will be available afterward for those not able to participate in person. 

Doug Arbogast, WVU Extension tourism expert, suggests participating in the series is a way that newcomers and veteran experts can come together to collaborate and create a brighter future for tourism in the Mountain State.

Attendance is limited to the Governor’s and local health department’s regulations, currently less than 25 (as of May 8, 2020). 

Remember that WVU Extension is not expected to screen students or staff to identify cases of COVID-19. If a community has cases of COVID-19, local health officials will help identify those individuals and will follow up on next steps.
