Aquinnah Collaborative Tourism Meeting 6/21/18
A note from Linda, Coombs, program director of the Aquinnah Cultural Center
Hello Everyone,
We are planning a meeting for Thursday, June 21, 2018 at the Aquinnah Town Hall from 5:30 to 7:30. We would love for you to join us to begin discussions about how we can work together to benefit each of our organizations, and tourism across the Island.
Many tribes across the country are looking into the value of tourism not only as a source of revenue, but also as a way to teach others and share our rich and vital cultures and history. We look forward to having the opportunity to speak with everyone, and look forward to seeing you on the 21st. There will be refreshments served.
Below is the planned agenda. If anyone has any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at either (508) 645-7900 or send me an email.
