Portland and Oregon are welcoming leisure visitors from across the globe—and your business can be part of the international story.
Join us for Travel Portland’s Deep Dive: International Tourism workshop to learn how to expand into this growing market. Heather Anderson, Travel Portland’s Director of International Tourism Administration, and her team will share insights on inbound international tourism and provide an overview of the department’s current initiatives.
Participants who complete the workshop will be invited to apply for scholarships to join Travel Portland staff at an upcoming international trade show, where they will have the chance to sell directly to global clients. Funded through the Portland Tourism Improvement District (TID), this scholarship program runs from October 31, 2025, through June 30, 2026, and covers two-thirds of travel expenses and 100% of the registration expenses.
This Deep Dive is open to all Travel Portland partners, with a special focus on the lodging, tour operator, and attraction sectors. The workshop will be offered both in person and virtually. Light refreshments will be provided for those attending onsite.
