Travel Week in Portland
Posted Wednesday, May 12th, 2010, By: Lota
A crowd of 150 people gathered in Pioneer Square yesterday to show their support of promoting travel to Portland for Travel Rally Day. Speakers shared their remarks and insights on how important the travel industry is to the region’s economy and how many jobs are created from visits to our beautiful state. Yesterday’s showing at the rally was a testament to how passionate the industry workers are, and the resulting media coverage shared that passion with local viewers.
The Watershed crew was there to not only show support for our clients, but to to help spread the word and ensure that media got the scoop. Check out KGW Ch.8 reporter Joe Smith’s news segment from the rally to learn how this industry affects thousands of Oregonian’s and drives billions of dollars to our economy. Watch here!

@admin: I just have to say your blog is the first I’ve come across today that doesn’t have typos every other sentence. Thanks for taking the time to write something that doesn’t look like a 5th grader put together. Sorry, just had to vent.
