Cultural Tourism Strategist (2014 - 2015)

Over the course of a year, I conducted a Destination Review of the entire Choctaw Nation of southeast Oklahoma (10.5 counties covering over 10,000 square miles) to outline cultural and natural heritage sites, attractions and events, and including both tangible and intangible aspects of American Indian culture which are of tourist interest.

In collaboration with The George Washington University, I produced a comprehensive Tourism Management Plan for future tourism development including: a Destination Management Organization (DMO), tour operations, site preparations, event planning, and marketing ideas. As part of the research phase, I designed, conducted and analyzed resident and visitor surveys to help guide in the decision-making process. I also managed production of the 48-page “Choctaw Country Guide” for 2015 (see right).
