Spend an evening with Bend Chamber at Bend 101—a welcoming gathering designed for new neighbors and long-time locals alike who want to deepen their connection to this special place we call home.
Join the Bend Chamber for an engaging Bend 101 focused on tourism and how it shapes our community. This session will include an overview of the transient room tax (TRT) and how tourism dollars support key initiatives in Bend and Central Oregon. We’ll also hear from a panel of local experts who will share insights on the benefits and challenges of tourism and how data helps inform decisions about our region’s future. Whether you’re new to Bend or a long-time resident, this is your chance to better understand how tourism shapes our community and economy.
