OREGON CITY, Ore. - s4story -- Oregon City and a newly formed destination marketing and management nonprofit, dba Travel Oregon City, announce the official launch of the organization and the appointment of Sylecia Johnston as the contract administrator to lead the initiative in its first two years.

Travel Oregon City is a non-profit organization established through a contract with the City of Oregon City; born from the understanding that most tourism management initiatives are led by a separate entity rather than city government. Its purpose is to coordinate, lead, promote, and grow Oregon City's evolving tourism industry, while also stewarding and promoting Oregon City as a vibrant, welcoming, and sustainable destination that highlights the community's history, culture, and natural beauty and drives positive economic and social impact.

Following a competitive selection process for a contract Administrator, the board of directors chose Sylecia Johnston for her extensive experience in establishing and supporting tourism organizations. Johnston has a Masters of Tourism Administration specializing in Sustainable Destination Management from George Washington University and brings more than 15 years of experience in destination development, regenerative tourism, and community-based planning. She has led projects across the United States and internationally, most recently working with a former USAID implementing partner.

My goal is to ensure our efforts not only inspire visitors, but also enhance quality of life for residents and foster long-term stewardship of this remarkable destination."
