The Oregon
Public Broadcasting video program, The Oregon
Story: Tourism, contributes to understanding the land we know
as Oregon today and the history of our involvement with it. It
focuses attention on important issues about the future of tourism
in Oregon, especially in the area of eco-tourism, or sustainable,
nature-based tourism. Suggestions1 provided in this guide demonstrate
ways to support and supplement the exploration of this history
in the context of Oregon Department of Education Content Standards
and Benchmarks. Suggestions include activities, explorations,
field excursions, and further adventures in reading and viewing.
Objectives
The Oregon Story: Tourism
has four major objectives which are to promote:
- understanding about how tourism has contributed to Oregon’s
history and development;
- a perspective about change that is occurring in the management
of tourism resources;
- critical thinking about the care, use, and management of
Oregon’s natural resources as they relate to sustainable, nature-based
tourism;
- incentive to celebrate the history, celebrate the present,
and appreciate the possibilities of tourism in Oregon.
1 Many of the suggestions support Oregon Department of Education
CIM and CAM benchmarks.
