Economic Indicators: An Update for the 7 Rivers Region

Tourism: The Changing Face of Tourism

Tourism is about more than bringing in visitors to the area. Learn how tourism in our area contributes to employment growth and business development in the region. At the Fall 2017 Economic Indicators event, hosted by the UW-La Crosse College of Business Administration, Dr. TJ Brooks, Economics Department Chair at UWL, will offer his current insights and perspectives on the region’s local economy and the role of tourism in community sustainability. A guest panel of tourist organizations from the region will discuss the rebranding/retooling of tourism and the effects of tourism in their communities. 

UW-La Crosse, in cooperation with State Bank Financial and the La Crosse Tribune, initiated a long-term study in early 2002 of our region's economic indicators. The research is ongoing and focuses on trends for a nine-county region that includes counties in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa. This project is expected to continuously build a base of economic information and provide decision makers with valuable tools for strategic planning. The information will also provide a basis for comparison with other regions and a measure of our progress as a region. 

Cost is $25 and pre-registration is required. The registration deadline is Monday, October 16th. Seating is limited. Online registration is available at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/economic-indicators-fall-2017-tickets-36360146176
