On behalf of the Wasatch County Council and the Heber Valley Tourism and Economic Development board of directors, I’d like to present this annual report, which contains key highlights from 2019.
Leaders throughout Wasatch County continue seeking to balance economic growth with the high quality of life we all enjoy. Through thoughtful planning and strategic partnerships with key stakeholders in Wasatch and Summit counties, our local economy continues to boom. In 2019, we hosted dozens of high-quality tourism events, attracted thousands of visitors to our hotels, and witnessed more jobs created in various targeted industries.
Looking to the future, we are hopeful to continue the momentum in advancing the Heber Valley as a premier place to live, work, and play. We appreciate the support of so many great partners and hope you enjoy this 2019 annual report.
The year 2019 has been another banner year in the Heber Valley. To kickstart the new year, we launched Team Heber Valley as the theme to guide our efforts, and in looking back at the many successes of the year, we can attest that our success centered on teamwork.
Among the highlights from 2019 are the significant expansion of the Heber Valley Hospital, a successful Wasatch Back Economic Summit — a partnership with the Park City Chamber of Commerce, and the grand opening of many great businesses, including Ventum — a specialized bike company that relocated its headquarters from Miami Beach, Florida. Furthermore, 2019 saw the emergence of new resort properties in the Jordanelle Basin, including Black Rock Ridge and the groundbreaking of Extell Development’s several-thousand-acre resort project.
Unemployment rates continue hovering around 3 percent while sales tax, restaurant tax, and transient room tax collection keep breaking records. All in all, the economy throughout Wasatch County continues to be healthy and strong — all thanks to the efforts of local businesses, city and county officials, and the great work of Heber Valley’s talented staff. We hope you enjoy the enclosed annual report that details a few of the highlights from 2019.

THE HEBER VALLEY CONTINUES TO BE
ONE OF THE NATION’S FASTEST GROWING
COMMUNITIES. SUCH GROWTH BRINGS
NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR BUSINESSES TO
RELOCATE AND EXPAND.
SECOND ANNUAL WASATCH BACK ECONOMIC SUMMIT
In an ongoing partnership between the Park City Chamber of Commerce, Summit County Economic Development, and the Heber Valley Chamber of Commerce, 2019’s second annual Wasatch Back Economic Summit represented many historic firsts. As growth between Summit and Wasatch County continues, regional discussions, planning, and collaborations are
critical. This year the summit was held at the DeJoria Center in Kamas with over 300 in attendance. Topics at the summit ranged from tourism marketing strategies, market forecasting, and presentations from the Mayflower Mountain Resort. The highlight of the event was the joint panel between elected officials from Summit and Wasatch County and Mayors from Kamas, Park City, Heber, and Midway. This event was a milestone in bringing the two counties together to work on issues along the Wasatch Back in a mutually beneficial way.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
CHAMBER NEW MEMBER BREAKFASTS
In 2019, we relaunched our New Member Breakfast program. This year we saw a marked increase in participation and benefit of the program. Each month five to eight businesses gather at the chamber building to learn about their membership benefits and to have a hyper-networking session with the other participants. Through this program, our members have created new partnerships, found new clients, and have maximized their chamber benefits. We look to continue this program into 2020.
MONTHLY LUNCHES
Each month, members of the Heber Valley Chamber gather for lunch, networking, and professional development opportunities. In 2019, our lunch topics included Mayor Potter’s State of the City address, Dr. Susan Madsen professor and women’s leadership expert, leadership lessons from Ryan Starks, and our first-ever Business to Business Expo.
260MEMBERS
HEBER VALLEY GOLF TOURNAMENT
Our annual golf tournament continues to be one of the most exciting, performing events the chamber hosts each year, and 2019 was no exception. Returning to the Soldier Hollow Golf Course, the tournament was our most significant in participation-to-date with nearly 144 golfers and over $15,000 raised thanks to sponsors, prize donations, and more.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE HAS CREATED
PROGRAMS FOR BUSINESSES TO GET
INVOLVED WITH THE COMMUNITY AND TO
CONNECT WITH OTHER BUSINESSES.
MIDWAY CITY WAYFINDING PROJECT
During the summer of 2019, the chamber completed phase one of our wayfinding sign plan with the installation of dozens of signs in the Heber City area. These signs help direct residents and visitors to public spaces and attractions in Heber City. Phase two of the project is to expand the sign program into Midway City. This year the chamber was able to provide $25,000 in grant money to Midway City to begin the process of designing and purchasing signs with the same look and feel like the current sign system.
HEBER VALLEY RESTAURANT WEEK
MARCH 25 - 31. Over two dozen restaurants participated in the fourth annual Restaurant Week in 2019. We promoted our restaurants through social media, print advertising, and through the “dine local” banners, which were displayed on light poles throughout Heber and Midway.

2019 MARKETING RECAP
Overall we are extremely satisfied with the results from our 2019 marketing campaign. We focused on brand awareness through public relations efforts that included social media influencers, media FAMS, video segments, and advertorial opportunities. We used other methods to help push potential customers through the sales funnel like an automated email campaign, search engine optimization, and digital ads.
In addition, we focused our efforts on group sales and meetings, and hired a Destination Sales Manager. We
attended IMEX with the Utah Office of Tourism; we partnered with our lodging properties to participate in shows like Connect, Smart Meetings, ASAE, and Ski Tops. We partnered with the Utah Office of Tourism on International trade missions to the UK and Australia.
We developed new collateral, a webpage, an RFP form for meetings sales. We also had our busiest winter on record in Heber Valley. The number of visitors to gohebervalley.com continues to increase. We learned a lot.

Overall, Facebook had a solid performance throughout the year, with higher metrics in spring and early summer with higher spending.
