7: Through the Haze: Real-Time Tech and Transparency in Crisis Marketing

Wildfires and smoke have become an unavoidable reality for travel in the West, but how a destination communicates during a crisis can make or break the visitor experience. In this episode, we talk with Scott Larson of Visit Central Oregon and Lesley Rowbal of Madden Media about their collaboration to build a custom, real-time smoke map API. We explore why transparency is the new currency in travel marketing and how DMOs can use technology to help visitors navigate a destination even when the skies aren't clear. The Where We Goin’? Podcast is a part of the Destination Marketing Podcast Network. It is hosted by Melyssa Reeves and the team at One West Tourism Alliance and produced by the team at Brand Revolt.

Gen-Z isn't just a demographic; they are the architects of a new travel landscape.

episode 3: From Planning to Impact: Sports Tourism in Southern Oregon artwork

3: From Planning to Impact: Sports Tourism in Southern Oregon

In 2013, a bold strategic planning process set the stage for a regional transformation: the creation of the Southern Oregon Sports Commission. More than a decade later, the Commission is driving national conversations on sportsmanship, facility development, and the economic power of sports tourism. In this episode, we’re joined by Jon Schmieder, Founder & CEO of Huddle Up Group, Darren Van Lehn, Director of Sports Development for Travel Medford, and TJ Holmes, Senior Vice President of Travel Medford, to reflect on how vision turned into reality—and what’s next for sports tourism in Southern Oregon. From pioneering sportsmanship programs used across the country, to cutting-edge venues like Rogue X and Lithia & Driveway Fields, to new facilities under construction, this story is a case study in how strategy, leadership, and persistence reshape communities.
