Best of the Delta
It’s that time of the year again! The 5th annual Best of the Delta survey will run from mid-June through July. In celebration of the 5-year anniversary of Best of the Delta, and to further support Delta businesses, we propose expanding the number of categories to 20 and using the most popular categories of the past 4 years.
Low-Cost Marketing Efforts
We know the past year has been especially challenging for Delta tourism. We want to hear about your ideas for low-cost marketing efforts. This will be an initial discussion and will lead to a second meeting to finalize options based on available funding.
Updates
We would also like to share a few updates with you related to the “Welcome” signs, the update to the Recreation & Tourism chapter of the Economic Sustainability Plan, branding of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta National Heritage Area, and improvements to the Visit CA Delta website.

Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta National Heritage Area Management Plan Open House and Public Workshop - Benicia
2021-08-30 17:15 - 20:00 | Benicia Veterans Memorial Hall, 1150 1st St., Benicia, CA, 94510
You are invited!
Visit and learn about the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta National Heritage Area and discuss your ideas to preserve, celebrate, and share the important stories and places of the Delta and Carquinez Strait.
In 2019, Congress designated the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and Carquinez Strait as the first National Heritage Area in California.
Now it’s time to plan for the future of this special place.
We invite you to attend either of two public workshops on the management plan process for the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta NHA. We will discuss the types of initiatives that the NHA could pursue, what stories you want to tell about the region, and how partners can be involved in the NHA.
NHAs are nationally significant living landscapes – places that recognize their history, heritage, and culture while continuing to advance and change. NHAs are community-driven and serve as catalysts for community revitalization projects, such as revitalization of historic Main Streets, investments in historic and cultural attractions, trails, and riverfront access, and development of businesses opportunities.
The Delta Protection Commission is the coordinating entity for the NHA, one of 55 NHAs across the country. For more information about the Delta National Heritage Area, visit our NHA webpage.
