The BQTC has kicked off 2010 with three main goals for the year in area tourism:
First, we have worked to develop and launch a comprehensive website that showcases the imagery, location, and events of the whole Bay of Quinte area. Secondly, we are working on new signage within the region, working with each of our municipalities and Chambers of Commerce.
Thirdly, we are working on increased partnerships with the province in the new Regional Tourism Organization (RTO) that is being developed with Kingston, Gananoque, Brockville Cornwall, and Prince Edward County.
What sets Bay of Quinte Tourism apart from other partnerships and organizations is the scope to which we are partnering all businesses and organizations in our region.
With the common goal of attraction and retention of visitors of all types to our area, we have recognized those needs in Economic Development, Home Builders, Realtors, as well as the accommodations, restaurants, attractions, culture, arts, landmarks, and recreation sectors that make up traditional tourism.
We have also done this under the banner of the Chambers of Commerce in the region, which represent over 1100 businesses in the area. By pooling our resources, we will maximize our return on investment of those marketing dollars spent promoting all stakeholders in the region.
By coming together as a region, we will maximize our region’s presence in Ontario and the world stage in a reorganized provincial tourism effort.
Thanks for your support. We look forward to the coming year.
Ryan Williams, BQTC President
