FALL RIVER \u2014 The city made available this week a $50,000 preliminary data study on the\u00a0current state of tourism<\/a>\u00a0in Fall River and potential next steps to improve economic development in a \u201ccreative economy\u201d and expand cultural tourism.<\/p>\n

During a meeting on Friday, Mayor Paul Coogan officially released a 31-page report containing a\u00a0two-year strategic tourism development plan. The study\u00a0was paid for with $670,000 in American Rescue Plan Act funding<\/a>\u00a0awarded to One SouthCoast Chamber and managed by the for-profit organization, Viva Fall River.<\/p>\n

“We are laying the foundation of where we go from here,” said Coogan said of the research and tourism initiative by his administration. “Taking all of these things and seeing what works and what doesn’t and guiding us going forward.”<\/p>\n

University of Massachusetts’ Charlton College of Business Dean John Williams, whose background includes doing intensive data collection, research and planning in the tourism industry in New Orleans, said his experience working in tourism shows Fall River’s potential is great.<\/p>\n

“I can tell you what you have here is ripe,” said Williams.<\/p>\n
