TITLE:
Council Business Listening Tour - Tourism Sector
Every fifth Tuesday in a single month, two to four businesses will present on a business sector to Council regarding their current status and their experience operating in Flagstaff.
DESIRED OUTCOME:
Council will be invited to tour the facilities of the businesses that present this evening. The tours will occur on Thursday, May 2nd in the morning. Council will be at each facility for approximately 30 minutes.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City of Flagstaff Economic Development Program works with several local and regional business and service providers. The Listening Tours bring business and Council together for greater mutual understanding. As Economic Development Week and Tourism Week both occur from May 6 - 10 2019, it seemed appropriate to partner with the Convention and Visitor Bureau to bring four attractions to speak.
INFORMATION:
Four Businesses that serve as attractions in our community will present introductions of themselves and the businesses they represent, followed by their biggest challenge, and concluding with their greatest recent business success. Those businesses scheduled to present are the Flagstaff Mall, Single Speed, Lowell Observatory, and Eagle Rider.
