TRAC Program Coming to Ocracoke

TRAC Program Coming to Ocracoke
Visit NC will bring their Tourism Resource Assistance Center to the island on October 22nd. All are welcome!

Tourism-related businesses in the Swan Quarter/Ocracoke region – including the surrounding counties – will have an opportunity to work with Visit North Carolina staff to learn about its research, development and marketing services, and discuss best practices in reaching travelers, the media and increasing tourism visitation and spending. Visit North Carolina's Tourism Resource Assistance Center (TRAC), a community-based training program designed to help small tourism-related businesses, will be held 11 am - 3 pm on Oct. 21 at the Hyde County Government Center in Swan Quarter; another session will be held 10 am - 2 pm on Oct. 22 at Berkley Manor in Ocracoke.

TRAC brings Visit North Carolina's program managers to local communities to discuss the nuts and bolts of working with the organization. This invaluable program is designed to help tourism-related businesses engage more fully with programs offered by Visit North Carolina and its partners. There is no charge to attend, no reservation is required, and there will be no PowerPoint presentations.

Representatives from the EDPNC's BLNC, N.C. Dept. of Commerce, N.C. Dept. of Cultural Resources and NC GreenTravel will also be on hand to discuss services they can provide businesses, including strategic planning, assisting with identifying funding sources and serving as liaisons with other local, state and federal agencies. For additional information on this session, to schedule a specific appointment time - although one isn't necessary, as this is a come-when-you-can/stay-as-long-as-you'd-like event - or to learn more about scheduling a TRAC visit to your community, contact André Nabors at (919) 447-7771.
