(The Dalles Oregon) August 2, 2023 – The Dalles Area Chamber, in collaboration with
the City of The Dalles and The Dalles Public Works, is excited to announce new
initiatives aimed at improving the experience for cruise ship passengers on our Hop-OnHop-Off Tours. This joint venture aims to improve accessibility, ease of travel, and
overall visitor experience.
Public Works is spearheading an operation to remove curbing and establish dedicated
bus access along 2nd Street, directly in front of the Chamber. This will facilitate a
smooth pull-off and drop-off for passengers visiting the historic Original County
Courthouse or The Dalles Visitor Information Center.
This effort will greatly ease bus ingress and egress onto East 2nd Street, improving tour
efficiency and passenger satisfaction.
“We’re committed to enhancing the visitor experience in The Dalles, making it more
enjoyable and convenient for all. This partnership is a testament to our collective
dedication to tourism and local exploration,” said a spokesperson for the partnership.
We anticipate these improvements will foster a better connection between our visitors
and the rich history and charm of The Dalles.
