Come along with us on a perfect day in Oregon. We ll start with a predawn soak in a steamy desert hot spring, followed by a sunrise trek on snowy Cascade trails. We can catch wind in the Columbia River Gorge before lunch; tour a brewery, pick a pint of berries, or soak up local history in the afternoon; and end our day with roasted marshmallows and campfire songs at the coast. As Oregonians, we re lucky to live in one of the most beautiful places on Earth. And the secret (if it ever was one) is out. Nearly 30 million people visit Oregon each year. The travel industry employs more than 112,000 people and pumps nearly $12 billion into the state economy. And it isn t just Oregon cities that benefit. In rural counties, tourism rivals agriculture and logging as one of the top three export-oriented industries. * In our 2019 calendar, we re highlighting some of the businesses, employees, and volunteers who make Oregon a great place to travel, work, and live. We hope you ll be inspired to get out, start exploring, and plan your own perfect Oregon day. Find videos, slideshows, and more about the policyholders featured in this calendar at saif.com/stories. *Source: Oregon Tourism Commission
