Travel Astoria: Your Coastal Guide
TravelAstoria.com serves as the digital front door to Astoria and Warrenton, inspiring visitors to explore the region while connecting them with local businesses, attractions, events, and experiences.
Where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean, Astoria and Warrenton attract history buffs, outdoor adventurers, lighthouse hunters, craft beer enthusiasts, and movie fans from around the world. For many visitors, TravelAstoria.com is their first introduction to the region and often the resource they rely on throughout the trip-planning process.
Cascade has partnered with the Astoria-Warrenton Chamber for more than a decade, helping evolve the website alongside changing traveler expectations, technology standards, and tourism marketing strategies.
Building a Platform for Tourism Growth
As visitor behavior shifted toward mobile devices and content consumption continued to grow, the Chamber needed a platform that could support a larger volume of content while remaining easy for staff to manage.
Our goal was to create a website that not only inspired travel but also made it easier for visitors to discover local businesses, explore attractions, attend events, and plan complete itineraries throughout their stay.
To accomplish this, we rebuilt the website in Evergreen CMS, replacing rigid page structures with flexible content modules that give Chamber staff greater control over how information is organized and presented.
Designed Around the Visitor Journey
The redesigned site focuses on helping visitors move naturally from inspiration to action. Whether someone is researching a weekend getaway, planning a family vacation, or looking for things to do during an upcoming trip, the site provides clear pathways to relevant information.
Curated itineraries, destination guides, attraction listings, dining recommendations, lodging information, and photo-rich content work together to showcase everything the region has to offer.
The platform also supports a robust event calendar that helps promote local festivals, community events, seasonal attractions, and tourism-driving experiences throughout the year.
Built for Discovery
Travel planning often begins with a search engine, which is why search visibility and performance played an important role in the rebuild. The site was designed with a strong content structure, search-friendly architecture, and performance optimizations that help travelers discover information quickly.
Downloadable visitor guides, interactive maps, destination content, and event information help users plan their trips while encouraging longer engagement with the site.
A Long-Term Partnership
More than a decade after our partnership began, TravelAstoria.com continues to serve as a critical marketing tool for the region. The platform helps connect visitors with local businesses, supports tourism initiatives, and provides Chamber staff with the flexibility to continually evolve content as the community grows.
The result is a website that functions as both a visitor resource and an economic development tool, helping showcase one of Oregon's most unique coastal destinations while supporting the businesses and organizations that make the region thrive.
