As part of its new tourism promotion contract with the City of The Dalles, The Dalles Area Chamber of Commerce will undertake the process of putting together a Destination Development Plan.  Chamber CEO Lisa Farquharson says she had already submitted an application with TravelOregon before the contract was awarded to get a $93,000 grant to get a contractor to help them with putting together the plan.  She says a committee of stakeholders would look at branding and who the visitors to The Dalles are, and use that to develop a plan to grow tourism in a positive way.  If the Chamber doesn’t receive a TravelOregon grant, Farquharson says they will seek other funding sources to put the plan together.
