SUBJECT:	Wildlife Tour Marketing

For a number of years, the Department of Natural Resources and the
Office of Tourism have been working together on the development of
wildlife tourism in Minnesota.  One of our current projects is to
enhance the awareness and promotion of guided wildlife and birding
tours.  We would like to meet with both the individuals and businesses
that offer these tours to talk about ways we can work together on their
promotion.

The meeting will be Thursday, May 20 from 9:30 a.m. to noon at Historic
Fort Snelling, in the Officers' Quarters room.  Enter through the
Visitor Center, then continue down the pathway into the Fort, where
staff will be on hand to direct you. =20

Historic Fort Snelling is located at the junction of Minnesota Highways
5 and 55, one mile east of the Twin Cities International Airport.  For a
detailed map, go to www.mnhs.org, click on "Historic Sites", then choose
"Historic Fort Snelling". =20

The agenda for the meeting will include:

Wildlife marketing
Wildlife tours
Birding festivals and trails
Networking with tourism businesses and organizations
Creating value
Developing the product - the Sax Zim Bog work in progress

Please RSVP your attendance to Cindy Schneider at 800-657-3637,
651-297-2333 or cindy.schneider@state.mn.us.  We look forward to working
with you!  =20
