DECC to host Tourism Industry Update

Tourism professionals and community leaders will gather at the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center on Thursday, Nov. 14, for the fall Tourism Industry Update, a luncheon event designed to share insights and strengthen collaboration across the city’s visitor economy.

The event will begin with networking at 11:30 a.m., followed by a presentation around noon. Admission is $10 per person and includes a lunch buffet.

Organizers say the update offers a chance to learn about current tourism trends, connect with peers, and explore new opportunities for growth in Duluth’s travel and hospitality sector.

Complimentary parking will be available for attendees who inform parking staff they are attending the Tourism Industry Update. Registration closes Nov. 7, 2025.

Howie: While others talked revival, Gary Doty did the work

Survival, for many old industrial American cities during the late twentieth century, became the central challenge itself. Doty helped Duluth survive long enough to rediscover confidence in itself again. That is not a minor civic legacy.
