North Platte, Nebraska, December 2022) – With the holiday season upon us, the Tourism Advisory
Council (TAC) of North Platte has decided to continue our tradition of gifting two employees of a tourism
driven business a basket of goodies to help them put together their holiday feasts! Each business that is
a member of TAC puts in the name of one employee or volunteer from their organization that they
would like to gift a meal to. These names are drawn, and one Thanksgiving basket is given, and one
Christmas basket is given. The recipient of the Thanksgiving basket received their meal the week of the
Thanksgiving holiday, and the Christmas basket will be delivered the week of Christmas.
The purpose of the Tourism Advisory Council is to advance the tourism industry in the City of North
Platte/Lincoln County. We raise the standard and upgrade the economy of the tourism/lodging industry
and maintain a front-line training program for all front-line employees because they all have a direct
influence on tourism traffic. We also encourage and maintain truthfulness and fair play in advertising
and general business practices, and we try to bring about a better public understanding of the aims and
benefits of the tourism industry. We are continually working to establish a forum where ideas,
information, and experience regarding the tourism industry can be exchanged to help better us all.
When we all work together to increase tourism within our community and to educate people about the
benefits that tourism has on our community, we are more successful. It takes a lot of hard-working
individuals to keep every business of TAC not only running but succeeding. That is why it is important to
us that we recognize one of these individuals by gifting them this holiday basket. We would like to wish
happy holidays to not only the recipient of this gift, but to everyone involved in this community. We
wouldn’t be able to do what we do without all of you!
