Mission
Promote, educate, support, and grow North Marion County's tourism assets and overall local economic vitality through collaboration and stewardship.
Vision
Growing visitation and awareness of North Marion County while maintaining both a unique visitor experience and a sense of place for locals.
The North Marion Tourism Collaborative is the Destination Management Organization (D.M.O.) for North Marion County. NMTC represents the communities and areas of Donald, St. Paul, Aurora, Hubbard, Woodburn, Gervais, Brooks, Mount Angel, Silverton, and Scotts Mills. The Collaborative began meeting in 2019 to discuss cooperative marketing efforts for the region, as a need was identified by the leadership of the cities. NMTC became an established DMO in 2020. The leadership of NTMC represents a partnership between city leadership, economic development professionals, chambers of commerce leaders, and private-sector business owners. NMTC has received tremendous support from Travel Oregon and Marion County in the form of multiple grants for operational development and destination development. NMTC has many partners which assist in promoting North Marion County as a premier destination, including the regional DMO, the Willamette Valley Visitors Assocation, local DMOs such as Discover Mt. Angel and Travel Salem, and numerous private sector businesses involved as members of the Collaborative. NMTC is currently working towards achieving nonprofit status.
