07/21/2026 - Tourism Committee

The Warren County New York Tourism Committee met on July 21, 2026, to discuss updates on local tourism business conditions and several resolutions related to tourism industry representation. The committee heard a business update from the general manager of Lake George RV Park, who reported challenges with midweek occupancy and a decline in Canadian visitors, predicting a flat to down year for summer tourism revenue. The committee then considered and approved multiple resolutions authorizing the tourism director, Heather Bagshaw, to serve on various tourism boards and committees, including the New York State Tourism Industry Association and Destinations International Advocacy Committee. These appointments aim to enhance regional tourism advocacy and collaboration. Additionally, the committee reviewed a tourism occupancy and performance report showing positive year-over-year gains in occupancy, demand, and revenue per available room for Warren County. No direct procurement, contract awards, or budget allocations were discussed during the meeting.
