Additionally, representatives from Discover Flagstaff and the Economic Vitality Division presented marketing and support initiatives aimed at promoting indigenous businesses through websites, social media, and email campaigns. The commission expressed interest in further collaboration and requested a follow-up presentation to explore additional business support programs and ways to enhance indigenous representation in tourism-related activities.
