"I would highly recommend the Travel Green Wisconsin certification process to other Door County businesses. At The Cookery, we decided to complete the certification because we felt that the application process would provide us with a useful tool to help us analyze ways in which we are already sustainable as well as new practices and initiatives that could be implemented to lessen our environmental footprint. Although you can certainly "green" your business without this certification, the application process prompts you to think of new avenues to become more sustainable and it is also unique in that it encourages you to educate your staff and customers of the certification and your initiatives. I think this education piece is particularly important because a ripple effect will hopefully be felt as employees and customers realize that some of your efforts could also be performed in their own lives." --- Courtney Skare, The Cookery Restaurant

Make Plans to Attend the 2012 WIGCOT Conference - in Green Bay!

The Wisconsin Governor's Conference on Tourism (wigcot)

You can't imagine how great this conference really is until you attend!  There's no wonder it's rated as one of the very best tourism conferences in the nation.  WIGCOT Website

While Green Bay is convenient for many of our members, if you wish to stay at, or near the conference center, it is not too early to book your room a year in advance!  Registration for the conference typically opens up in January with a brief window for Early Bird discounts so, mark your calendar with a reminder to visit the WIGCOT website after the 1st of the year.

In addition to Early Bird discounts, discounts are offered for Multiple registrations sent in together so encourage your friends and collegues to attend!
