Experience Reno-Tahoe Territory: Outdoor Recreation, Film Tourism, and Regional Collaboration

January 27, 2026 • Howard Fox, Lydia Beck • Episode 8006

The Outdoor Adventure Series welcomes Lydia Beck, the Communications Chair for Reno-Tahoe Territory and Marketing & PR Manager for Visit Carson City. Together, they dive into the vibrant, collaborative world of the Reno-Tahoe Territory—a unique, grant-funded organization of the Nevada Commission on Tourism that brings together six amazing Nevada destinations, including historic Carson City, Carson Valley, North Lake Tahoe, The Reno-Sparks region, South Lake Tahoe, and Virginia City.

Lydia shares how these communities work in unison to promote outdoor adventure, year-round activities, and authentic small-town charm. Lydia shares insider tips on curating incredible travel experiences, how film and television are driving a new wave of tourism known as "set jetting," and why the region is the perfect blend of natural beauty, history, and adventure.
