Destination Door County is asking residents and businesses to do their part in setting an example of how other residents and visitors should travel the county. Starting this week the Door County Pledge is offered for residents to sign and will later be available to everyone. The pledge is an effort by Door County to urge traveling more purposefully and responsibly so that Door County’s amenities can sustain their attractiveness. Director of Communications and Personal Relations Jon Jarosh notes that everyone plays a part.
The pledge has a broad focus that includes several steps such as respecting the waters, honoring local culture and traditions, and environmental preservation. The Door County Pledge is a component of a larger initiative called Care for Door County. This initiative will be focused on destination management and destination awareness. The initiative will also be revealed in further detail during National Travel & Tourism Week, which runs from May 2nd to May 8th. Door County is making push to be a Green Tier certified destination.
