Show Me Christian County presents tourism marketing strategy; commissioners take no action

Kristen Haseltine, representing Show Me Christian County, presented a long-term tourism marketing strategy to the Christian County Commission during its Jan. 23 meeting in Ozark.

Haseltine discussed elements of the county's approach to tourism promotion and mentioned the question of selecting a destination marketing organization (DMO) to lead implementation. Commissioners engaged in discussion but the meeting record shows no formal motion or decision to select a DMO.

The commission also considered other agenda items that morning, including a local-match order for a Hazard Mitigation Grant project and routine quarterly reports. No action on the tourism marketing strategy was recorded; the transcript does not indicate whether staff were directed to return with options or a timeline for selection.
