Dark Sky Tourism Learning Community

Building on the momentum of dark sky visitor experience development efforts across the state, Travel Oregon created a Dark Sky Tourism Learning Community to facilitate ongoing education and foster alignment across the tourism industry and key stakeholders.  

The Learning Community is open to anyone interested in preserving Oregon’s dark skies, developing and promoting dark sky visitor experiences, and staying connected with dark sky initiatives and stakeholders across the state.  

Travel Oregon is committed to convening the Dark Sky Tourism Learning Community 3-4 times per year, with meetings taking place primarily over Zoom with occasional in-person opportunities. Meetings will be announced in the Travel Oregon industry newsletter at least two weeks in advance. Sign up for the newsletter here.  

Recordings of Learning Community meetings, presentation decks and other dark sky resources can be accessed on the Dark Sky Tourism Learning Community group on Basecamp. Fill out this form to be added to the Basecamp group where you can connect with tourism industry colleagues between meetings.
