AFNHA and Eastern WVCTC partner to host the Creative Economy Group each month. Originally composed of the Potomac Highlands region in WV, this group has expanded to include all of AFNHA's counties due to our Benedum Grant award in 2021. This group was born from the need for local CVB's, county tourism leaders, and local small tourist businesses to have networking opportunities and discuss successes, ongoing issues and problems, and solutions. Guest speakers regularly attend to speak on subject matters of interest to the group. Eastern WVCTC provides monthly trainings that focus on tourism and small business development, and AFNHA hosts a Tourism Summit each year.
All in the AFNHA region are invited to attend!
