The Dalles Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Lisa Farquharson told City Councilors during her annual tourism report that they are hoping for a better 2021, even though their numbers probably won’t reach pre-pandemic levels.  Farquharson says there are people who want to travel and they are doing it, with traffic at the Chamber from visitors seeking information starting to increase.  She noted the visitors usually are asking about outdoor activities.  Farquharson added they are preparing two separate sets of advertising campaigns to promote tourism to The Dalles once the timing is right to do so.  The Council unanimously approved the City’s tourism budget for the upcoming fiscal year.
