OGDEN, Utah â Visit Ogden is partnering with Pledge for the Wild to join mountain towns around the country that are committed to responsible tourism to protect wild places.
As part of this effort, Visit Ogden will launch an outreach campaign titled Wild4Ogden, which will share tips on how to be a responsible tourist, such as contributing to the local economy, leaving no trace in wild areas, and using transportation options that minimize pollution.
âWe are excited to have Ogden join this notable group of mountain towns supporting responsible tourism in wild places, per the Pledge for the Wild mantra. We know how special our wild spaces are and want to provide resources to support the protection and maintenance of them for future generations to continue to enjoy,â said Sara Toliver, president/CEO of Visit Ogden.
SALT LAKE CITY – Travelers planning a trip from northern Utah to Southern California now have another way to get there.
Starting Tuesday afternoon, a commercial airline begins flying six days a week from the Ogden-Hinckley Airport to Burbank.
The new service from Houston-based Avelo Airlines is meeting demand from those living in and around Ogden, said Tom Christopulos, director of Ogden s community and economic development department. The Los Angeles area is the top destination for air travelers from the Ogden area, Christopulos said in a prepared statement.
The flights will also provide Californians a convenient route to Utah to take advantage of outdoor activities or simply travel for work, said Sara Toliver, CEO of Visit Ogden.
