Help Define Visit Leland’s Tourism Future
Visit Leland (Leland Tourism Development Authority) is excited to continue its strategic planning initiative aimed at shaping the future of tourism in Leland. This effort includes a community survey and an Open House on April 10 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Leland Cultural Arts Center, located at 1212 Magnolia Village Way.
The goal is to gather valuable insights from residents and visitors alike to help identify opportunities for expanding tourism, enhancing visitor experiences, and making improvements that also benefit the overall quality of life in the community.
“Our goal is to ensure Leland grows as a vibrant destination while preserving what makes it special,” Town of Leland Economic and Community Development Director Barnes Sutton said. “This public engagement period allows us to hear directly from people who live in and visit Leland so we can make informed decisions that support both economic development and community well-being.”
Those unable to attend the Open House can complete the online survey that covers a range of topics, including visitor experiences, attractions, infrastructure, and placemaking efforts. Whether you’re a resident who enjoys Leland’s amenities year-round or a visitor who has explored the Town, your feedback is invaluable in crafting a five-year Strategic Plan that reflects the needs and desires of the community.
This plan will focus on attracting more visitors, creating inviting public spaces, expanding community offerings, and improving residents' quality of life. It will also help draw unique businesses by showcasing Visit Leland’s vision and strategic goals.
The brief survey is available online and will remain open until April 19.
