The tourism program’s vision statement is to be the premier mountain destination for travelers seeking unique recreational experiences in an area rich with natural resources, history, culture and vibrant communities.

The development council is comprised of nine members, including one representative from the Board of Supervisors, each town council and the Chamber of Commerce. The remaining five members are appointed by the Board of Supervisors and both town councils. Development Council members are appointed to two-year terms.
