Helpful Hints

As you work on place-making for tourism, keep these practical tips in mind:

Differentiate the Product
Create a unique market niche. Take advantage of your distinctiveness.

Reveal, Don't Cover Up
Build on intrinsic assets. Allow what's already there to reveal itself.

Deliberate, Don't Debate
Move beyond pro & con. Get out of your boxes.

Integrate the Story
Merge the built, natural & cultural environments. Get out of your silos.

"I have never visited a downtown with a successful record of economic revitalization where historic preservation wasn't a key element of the strategy." - Donovan Rypkema
