The Oregon Tourism Commission recently announced the recipients of the 2007 Tourism Industry Achievement Awards.
The commission honored Katherine Hoppe of the Coos Bay-North Bend Visitors and Convention Bureau with the Creative Tourism Development Award. It recognizes an innovative program, promotion or product created by a business, person, group or region in Oregon that demonstrates a new way of thinking about the visitor industry. Hoppe was instrumental in developing the Steve Prefontaine Hometown Project and has garnered media coverage of the South Coast this year with innovative story ideas, a press release said.
The annual awards have recognized people and organizations across the state that go the extra mile to promote the tourism and hospitality industry in Oregon. Nominated by their peers, the award recipients are selected as outstanding examples of professionals who, by virtue of their vision, perseverance and dedication, are a credit to the tourism industry.
Oregon’s highest recognition is the Governor’s Tourism Award. Presented by Oregon’s First Lady Mary Oberst, this year’s Governor’s Award was given to Jack and Jan McGowan, longtime executives of SOLV. The award is a tribute to their 18 years of work maintaining and promoting the beauty that is Oregon.
