Many studies exist in the literature that advertising and destination branding functions to increase tourism. "Destinations have realized the importance of developing brand equity and have been aggressively applying the branding theory into their destination development practices" (Almeyda-Ibifiez & George, 2017).It is this impoftance of branding for tourism that resulted in the idea to develop a logo and promotional brochure for the Disc Golf Course, in addition to ensuring comprehensive information being posted to the National Disc Golf Association website. Amenities with no advertisernent may be completely unknown to greater public and thereby severely under-used. By upgrading the Disc Golf Course signage and advertisement, we anticipate additional park users and visitors to Kittitas County. The proposed park amenities will be included in our asset management program, and will be maintained over their functional lives by the City's Public Works Department. The Disc Golf brochures will be printed and distributed as described in #l above, but we will also retain the digital files for future updates, and will have an adequate stock of extra brochures printed initially to maintain the supply for at least ayear. Trail counters will be inventoried along with other City equipment and will be stored and maintained per manufacturer's recommendations.
