The new year is well underway and Visit Bellevue is proud to announce that the process of updating the Bellevue Destination Development Plan (DDP) has started. The DDP has strengthened Bellevue's position as a travel destination for leisure travel, conventioneers, and group business. There will be many opportunities for partners and stakeholder feedback and suggestions. More soon.
