Travel Oregon

Kate Sinner, a director at Business Oregon with connections throughout state government, was selected Wednesday to take over as the executive director at Travel Oregon, the state’s tourism promotion agency.

After some much needed sunlight on its operations, Travel Oregon is looking for a new chief executive—at a significantly lower salary.

David Penilton, a co-owner of America’s Hub World Tours, a small tour operator that offers tour guides and buses in Oregon, has been awarded a two-year contract worth up to $200,000 from Travel Oregon to help with promotional groups the agency brings to the state, OJP has learned.
