The document discusses economic development efforts in Virginia at the local, regional, and state levels.
At the local level, communities need economic development strategies and goals, prepared industrial sites, and resources to attract businesses. Regionally, areas need to work together on workforce, transportation, education and marketing due to businesses viewing regions collectively.

Success requires collaboration across all levels of government and private sector partners.
The Virginia Tourism Corporation (VTC) promotes Virginia as a travel destination and encourages tourism development.

The DRIVE Tourism plan focuses on product development, leveraging resources, and increasing partnerships to develop new visitor experiences and make Virginia more competitive over five years. The VTC works with localities to implement DRIVE through workshops and developing action plans for new tourism products and ideas.
The strategic plan outlines challenges facing West Virginia's tourism industry, including declining economic impact from tourism. It aims to address these challenges through a new approach. This involves developing a unified branding message through a cooperative advertising program to replace fragmented messaging. It also focuses on industry development by working with the Development Office to recruit new tourism businesses and help existing ones grow, in order to reverse the decline and position West Virginia for long-term tourism sector growth.
