Specifications include, but are not limited to: The key objective of the Project is to create a Tourism Development Strategy for the City of Wilsonville, dba Explore Wilsonville DMO. The Strategy shall provide guidance over the next 10 years for directing efforts and funds aimed at increasing tourism activity within the community, particularly for overnight stays at Wilsonville lodging properties. Due to Wilsonville’s strategic location along the West Coast lifeline of I-5, visitors have easy access to the Portland metro area, the state capitol of Salem, and other destinations. A key component of the Strategy should recognize that Wilsonville seeks to be the ‘base station’ for visitors to the Portland Metro and North Willamette Valley regions. With the largest concentration of overnight lodging options that range from 2- to 4-star hotels in the South Metro area and North Willamette Valley, Wilsonville is well positioned to act as a jumping-off point for day trips throughout Northwest Oregon—Portland metro, Salem state capitol, Willamette Valley wine country, Mt Hood, Columbia River Gorge, and the Oregon Coast.
