Clean Beaches Week
One of the most important weeks of the year is here. July 1-7 is National Clean Beaches Week. Locally Dare County is sponsoring a beach clean-up on July 5th. This week is an important part of maintaining tourism in beach communities.
Personally I think week’s like this should garner more exposure. Maintaining the beaches and especially tourism is an important part of all areas affected by tourism. Beach communities account for over 85% of all tourism revenues generated in the United States. The total revenues are over $640 billion.
Using those simple numbers it is easy to see how important it is to maintain high quality beaches in the Outer Banks and throughout the rest of the world. Sustainable tourism should be the goal of everyone in every beach community.
