OUR STRATEGIC PLAN
The objective of our Strategic Plan is to maximize marketing and development opportunities and the economic success of our destination, while minimizing impact on our community and the environment. Our Key Initiatives and Targets are informed by research and interviews, align with ongoing initiatives, and will grow collaboration among partners and our community.

The stakeholder engagement process built partner consensus for the trends impacting the industry and the vision for the destination. The performance survey assessment defined our strengths, as well as development opportunities. Through this process, we defined four pillars that are the foundation for our five-year Strategic Plan -they ensure what we set out to accomplish. This plan aids in guiding our operations and will help to inform our members and community about our strategies.

Our Strategic Plan reflects our commitment to longer-term plans, while retaining the flexibility to respond to changes in our operating landscape, market, and economic conditions. At the operational level, the execution of the plan includes our marketing initiatives, research and data, business results, member input, and third-party research. The goals of this plan are to educate and engage guests, residents, members, and stakeholders, remain a leader in the tourism industry, be accountable and transparent, and illustrate how we define, measure, and achieve success for the White Mountains.
