Operation Latchstring gains push for West Virginia travel growth

Mountaineer Country Travel Council held its annual meeting in Morgantown to present Operation Latchstring. West Virginia Commerce Travel Division Director Joseph R. Fowler outlined a four stage plan using seven regional councils to craft a statewide program and gauge current facilities, with a Phase I survey across nine counties. Sally Sternbach said the survey marks the first comprehensive effort, requiring broad community cooperation to catalog attractions, and Tom Wyant predicted Mountaineer Country could win the Governor’s Award of Excellence, which includes a $2,000 cash grant and a $5,000 advertising credit. The non-profit council, serving nine counties, is based in Morgantown.
