Hey Drew -- our county tourism department brought Roger Brooks, the "destination development guru" (http://www.destinationdevelopment.com/) to town last fall to shop our county and to report our pitfalls when it came to tourism attractions. Although our town fails in many respects as a tourist destination, the shop owners seemed to be cured of competitiveness when he emphasized the impact in collective development.
In other words, an art lover might stop at a town that contained two art galleries, but he or she would make it a point to visit a town that contained twenty art galleries. All art galleries in the latter situation would benefit from the traffic, as that traffic would -- most likely -- consist of art lovers. I think the same situation would apply to coworking collaboratives. Each space is different in look, feel and approach, yet all are focused on a new way of working. I wouldn't hesitate to say that a town that contained ten, rather than two, coworking collaboratives would attract more people to town with a coworking mentality. I think, too, that this is how revolutions begin - with the impact from collective thinking. ;) Cheers, Linda Goin http://laventurestation.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
