As you browse this guide, which is organized around Cornell’s Seven Dimensions of Wellbeing model pictured below, you’ll find many resources cross-referenced in multiple dimensions.

  • Tompkins County Heritage Tourism Implementation Plan
    TOMPKINS COUNTY HERITAGE TOURISM Expanding Cultural Heritage Tourism to IMPLEMENTATION Delight and Inspire PLAN February, 2015 Tompkins County Strategic Tourism Planning Board Executive Summary With world‐class educational institutions, spectacular waterways, and a record of cultural leadership, heritage tourism is a natural fit and even an expectation of visitors to Tompkins County. Heritage tourism also showcases the unique richness of life in our area, protects irreplaceable assets, and contributes to our thriving historic and cultural offerings. National survey research demonstrates that cultural heritage visitors travel more frequently, stay in hotels more often, spend more, and stay longer than general leisure visitors. The goals of this two‐year implementation plan are to: Increase overall visitation, length of stays and spending associated with heritage tourism in Tompkins County. Deepen appreciation and awareness of Ithaca and Tompkins County’s history, so that visitors and residents alike take away a richer understanding of and connection to this place. Improve access for visitors to the area’s rich heritage stories, notable people, historic themes and sites, natural history and public art. Increase coordination and collaboration locally and regionally on heritage tourism initiatives. Strengthen protection and preservation of sites and intangible assets as the basis for heritage tourism. What is Heritage Tourism? “Heritage tourism is traveling to experience the places, artifacts, and activities that authentically represent the
