The Island County Tourism Program supports tourism promotion for Whidbey and Camano Islands through a collaborative structure that includes an Executive Board, an Advisory Committee, contracted marketing professionals, and an Island County Tourism Program Manager.
The program is funded primarily through the 2% lodging tax and is guided by the Interlocal Agreement between Island County, the City of Oak Harbor, the Town of Coupeville, and the City of Langley.
The Executive Board provides oversight and direction for the program. The Advisory Committee contributes local insight and community perspectives from across Whidbey and Camano Islands. Day-to-day program management is provided by the Tourism Program Manager, while contracted specialists support marketing, communications, website management, public relations, and destination promotion efforts.
Together, these efforts help share the stories, experiences, events, and communities that make Whidbey and Camano Islands unique destinations while supporting local businesses and stewardship of the visitor experience.
