Description: Hosted by NCGrowth, this session will explore how Tribal communities are building successful tourism strategies around their rivers, lakes, and waterways. The discussion will highlight practical models, cultural insights, and economic development opportunities rooted in water-based tourism—or “blueways.” This event is the first in a quarterly series designed to offer actionable insights, share success stories, and provide technical support to Tribal governments and Native organizations working to grow sustainable tourism programs.

Format: 90-minute virtual session, including expert presentations and live Q&A

Date TBD, May, 2025
