TOURISM DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Bringing the community together to develop Pittsburgh’s tourism ecosystem
VisitPITTSBURGH, along with our network of community partners, has worked to craft a 10-Year Tourism Development Plan (TDP) that establishes the foundation for a more impactful and prosperous tourism ecosystem. This plan was brought to life during the COVID-19 pandemic as a way to create actionable change for Pittsburgh’s tourism industry during a period where travel was halted nationwide. The Plan provides a roadmap for community partners to engage, collaborate and activate the TDP, while creating a new baseline for travel and tourism’s impact in Pittsburgh and Allegheny County.
With 40 strategies and 80 unique action items, the TDP is crafted in a way that is easy to follow, allows for public engagement, and most importantly, establishes Pittsburgh as a competitive industry leader within the tourism marketplace.
ABOUTTargeted approaches lead to holistic development
The Tourism Development Plan is broken down into three main areas of focus: Experiences, Connectivity, and Industry. With each bucket representing a different developmental vertical, we have been able to build specific, targeted, and measurable action items that together increase the economic and community impact of tourism in Pittsburgh and Allegheny County.
