Recreation and Tourism Cohort

Project Description: The goal of the Recreation and Tourism Cohort is to meet over the 16 months of the Catalyst phase of the California Jobs First initiative and to draft a road map/white paper/tool laying out a direction for the future of sustainable outdoor recreation and tourism for the state of California. "Recreation and Tourism" has been placed in the "strengthen" category of the State of California’s Economic Blueprint, which means it is important, but not a current sector to receive direct investment. The Recreation and Tourism Cohort is bringing together organizations, regions, and other entities from across the state working in these sectors because it remains an important and critical to the economic vitality of regions as identified in the Jobs First Regional plans. This group is especially important because of the current changes happening at the federal level. Historically, the State of California has relied on federal public land systems and institutions to manage and maintain recreation infrastructure and programming on federal public lands, which make up over half of the geography of the state of California.
