Members of the National Geotourism Tourism Council held a conference call on November 18, 2019 to discuss the FY2020 strategic plan and the planned migration by the individual geotourism mapguides to the Elebase platform. Elebase ‘s features will allow for more customization and user flexibility. Across the board, each of the mapguides plans to complete the migration in early 2020.
Board Chair, Sheena Pate, Crown of the Continent, opened the meeting by greeting all of the mapguide representatives. Seven of the twelve guides developed under the National Geographic partnership were in attendance, along with the Bureau of Land Management and mapguides currently under development. One of the unique attributes of these guides is the regional focus on iconic places, transcending political boundaries.
One of the topics of interest was publishing more case studies to qualify and quantify the impact of the projects. Jonathan Tourtellot, Destination Stewardship Center, talked about the organization’s upcoming newsletter and suggested potentially partnering with the Council for a blog spot to highlight activities among the partners.
The group will reconvene in January 2020.
