Danny Twilley
The Voinovich School Lunch and Learn series kicks off Sept. 14 with faculty Danny Twilley for a discussion “Ecotourism and Outdoor Recreation: A Catalyst for Rural Community Development” on from noon to 1 p.m. in Building 22 at the Ridges.
Twilley will discuss how recreation and tourism serves as a community development strategy, especially in the areas of sustainable economic development, health and wellness, and connecting communities. In support, he will look at national, state, and local data to better understand how outdoor recreation and tourism is a vital strategy for community change, while focusing on a local case study.
Twilley is an Ohio University faculty member in the Recreation Studies program with a focus on outdoor recreation and ecotourism. He spends his time understanding how communities use these powerful tools to enhance their communities. As a result he leads two study abroad programs, one within the Recreation Studies program to Costa Rica and one for the Environmental Studies program to the Balkans.
