(SALEM, Ore.) - The Salem Convention and Visitors Association (SCVA) received the Oregon Governor’s Tourism Industry Awareness Award Sunday, April 6th at the 24th Annual Governor’s Conference on Tourism held in Portland.

This prestigious award was presented to SCVA from the Oregon Tourism Commission for creating awareness of the economic importance of the visitor industry in Salem and region.

On hand to accept the award for the Association was Angie Morris, CEO; Irene Bernards, Tourism Marketing & PR Director; Debbie McCune, Director of Sales; Kathie Reeves, Online Marketing Manager; and Sue Nichols, Community Development Director.

"Salem’s visitor industry generates $244.1 million in estimated economic impact to this city. Tourism, conferences, meetings and events bring new people and new dollars to benefit Salem and the region. Our award winning and professional marketing team is very proud of this award and what it represents!" said Morris.

SCVA has been recognized five other times throughout the Association’s history with Governor’s Tourism Awards including the 1991, 1993 and 2005 Governor’s Regional Tourism Award, which recognizes cooperative marketing efforts; and the 1997 Governor’s Individual Tourism Award presented to Irene Bernards of SCVA.
