Western States Tourism Policy Council Conference Western States Tourism Policy Council Conference Travel and tourism are fundamentally dependent upon an efficient and economical transportation system.
Transportation has no more important constituencies than travel and tourism.

The challenge of moving ever-increasing numbers of travelers safely and punctually, with appropriate consideration of environmental and social consequences, will confront all modes of transportation. Conference speakers will include leading public and private sector experts who will provide national and regional perspectives on issues and problems critical to transportation planning and the continued growth of tourism in the West. The conference will bring together those who have the greatest stake in the development of transportation systems and their impact on sustainable travel and tourism. The conference will provide an opportunity for all attendees to participate in formulating conclusions about priority issues and concerns and developing recommendations about follow-up activities beyond the conference.
