Together we will use market-based tools to communicate to consumers who travel the depth and breadth of park experiences. This exchange will help the organization learn about visitor trends and interests. By using the approach, NPS hopes to reach under-served demographics and other target audiences, and promote sustainable practices. National Strategic Tourism Plan The NPS National Tourism Strategic Plan, developed by the National Tourism Council (NTC) has been reviewed and endorsed by the National Leadership Council (NLC). The plan is currently being implemented through pilot projects.
