introduction

From the Executive Director

R

ecently, I found myself responding to the question, “What can be done to convert Lander’s pass-through traffic into retail business?” Since tourists seem to be everywhere, here are a few long term goals that Lander should work on: 1) A town must have bustle and beauty. This means pedestrians walking the streets, public street art, vibrant storefronts, and flowers and trees abound.

2) Designated and signed parking for large cars and RVs. If our Main Street parking is full---it’s OK, *as long as* we have parking that is accessible within a block or two of the destination. Research on visitor-friendly communities confirm this; when through-traffic sees a town full of parked cars, it sends the message that something is going on, and it draws a visitor in... when you see hundreds of open spaces, the message is there is nothing going on and it’s a ghost town.

3) Cohesively branded signage that direct through-traffic toward tourist attractions. We were granted funds from Wyoming Office of Tourism and the Chamber and City are working on this project. Expect to see something later in the year.

4) Create a unforgettable experience for visitors! When through-traffic stops, they want the experience more than they want food and souvenirs. Think about how we can be truly remarkable.

We have so much work to do to capture and convert passthrough traffic. However, the flip side of this tourism coin, and something that is equally as important, is that there is huge amounts of untapped opportunity to develop Lander as *the destination*. This is our other main focus at the Lander Chamber of Commerce; destination tourists stay longer, spend more money, and are more likely to sell their friends on a Lander experience ;-)

BEAT THE HEAT: Health Tips for the Summer

STAY HYDRATED

Hydration is key to staying and feeling healthy. Your body has an intricate system of keeping fluids and electrolytes balanced. Proper hydration is a main component of this process. As we age, this regulation system may no longer function properly on its own, making dehydration more common.

Adequate hydration minimizes this risk.

Here are a few tips for staying hydrated: Drink at least 48-64 fluid ounces daily Drink throughout the day, rather than all at once Avoid caffeine and alcohol Drink a glass of water before exercising or doing outside activities Drink a full glass of water when taking medication Don't wait for thirst to replenish water Know dehydration symptoms

SUN SAFETY There are many ways to be

physically active outdoors — swimming, hiking, gardening, walking, dancing, or playing tennis.

No matter which activity you choose, be sure to play it safe in the sun!

Here are a few tips to keep your skin healthy: Limit your time in the sun Don't be fooled by cloudy skies Use sunscreen & reapply often Wear protective clothing Drink plenty of liquids

Contact us at 332-2922 or 856-4127 for your FREE copy of Sun Safety and Hydration tip sheets.
