The event will feature various sessions focusing on our theme, The Road Ahead. We will hear from industry leaders and have the chance to get the inside scoop on what Tourism is looking like in the great state of Montana. Not only that, but you will get the opportunity to network to expand and challenge your thinking and attend hands-on breakout sessions and learning labs to provide us with new tools to promote and develop our markets and services.
BSPRA will lead a breakout Session - Tourism by Rail on Monday, April 28th, from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m.
With unprecedented federal funding for passenger rail and widespread local support for expanding rail service, now is the time to invest in rail connections to our tourism destinations. In this session, Pacific Northwest Economic Region Regional Infrastructure Accelerator Director Bruce Agnew will lead a panel representing national park gateway communities, Indian Country, and rural eastern Montana to discuss how restoration of daily passenger service can promote sustainable tourism.
Speakers: Bruce Agnew, Grant Gager, Martin Charlo, Samantha Beyl
