You want a mountain biking vacation, but where will you have dinner? A long weekend visiting Virginia’s wineries, cideries, and breweries, but where can you stay? You are planning a through hike, but where can you get provisions along the trail? Communities that count outdoor recreation and agriculture as a part of their tourism offerings need to think holistically about the needs of visitors and how to provide a complete experience.

The Base Camp conference focuses on the intersections of tourism, community economic development, agriculture, and trails and how these interests can be brought together for positive local and regional impacts. This year’s (virtual) conference will take place on December 6 & 7 so mark your calendars now!
