March 30: FREE Guides & Outfitters Training Workshop: Have you ever thought about creating your own business as a Guide or Outfitter in Northeast Washington? Maybe you already are providing Guide & Outfitter services and would like to learn ways to enhance and grow your business? Or, perhaps you operate a business that caters to visitors to the tri- county area and would like to connect with area Guides & Outfitters to partner and provide memorable experiences for your guests or customers. It is no secret that the demand for adventure travel, outdoor recreation and nature-based experiences has steadily been on the rise, particularly in regions with abundant natural assets. One result of the COVID pandemic was the creation of a new demographic of outdoor enthusiasts eager to experience the great outdoors safely and respectfully. As participation continues to rise, there is the opportunity for new entrepreneurs to enter the space, and for existing businesses to expand their offerings and capacity. The sometimes complex regulatory and operational requirements might be daunting for an entrepreneur looking to start a business. The process of creating an experience that is authentic to the Guide or Outfitter is crucial to growing a sustainable, rewarding business. Tri- County Economic Development District (TEDD), in partnership with State of Washington Tourism and multiple land agencies, will be presenting a FREE Guides & Outfitters Training Workshop Series, starting with an Information Session on Thursday, March 30th from 5: 30- 7: 30 at TEDD World Headquarters in Colville, WA.
