Sustainable Destination Management Plan
Sustainable Destination Management Plan
A strategic roadmap to identify actionable objectives for managing tourism for the benefit of the environment, community, visitors, and generations to come. Facilitated by the Jackson Hole Travel and Tourism Joint Powers Board in partnership with George Washington University and Confluence Sustainability.
Recognizing that great destinations are great places to live, work, and visit, the goal of a Sustainable Destination Management Plan (SDMP) is to balance the needs and expectations of visitors with the priorities of residents, businesses, and the environment. This includes planning, development, marketing, and monitoring how destinations are managed physically, operationally, and financially. A central focus is to foster greater collaboration with, and alignment between, local governments, tourism industry stakeholders, enterprise leaders, nonprofit and social services managers, public land managers, residents, the diverse workforce, and neighboring communities.
The SDMP builds upon the efforts of valued and well-established community partners and their pioneering work on sustainability initiatives. A steering committee of 18 engaged community stakeholders provided oversight for the planning process. A consulting team from George Washington University International Institute of Tourism Studies and Confluence Sustainability assessed the destination needs of Jackson Hole and Teton County before designing a new strategy that reflects a shared community vision, ensuring community support and shared responsibility for managing our Teton Communities from a tourism perspective.
