Smart towns know how to capitalize on active and bike tourism
Submitted by paula on Thu, 05/21/2015 - 10:21pm
South Lake Tahoe can create a sustainable economy if we focus on "active tourism." This was the message relayed by the panel of speakers at Wednesday's Tahoe Talk series at Lake Tahoe Community College.
