The Northwestern Ontario Tourism Association and the Kenora District Camp Owners Association, in partnership with Sunset Country Travel Association, Patricia Region Tourism Council, the Ontario Ministry of Tourism and the regional Community Future Development Corporations were pleased to host:

Working Together, Succeeding Together
A Marketing Forum for Tourism in Sunset Country.

The goal of the Forum was to assist partners in tourism to become more innovative and increase their competitiveness by:

• applying new ideas and strategies, offered through one-on-one coaching with marketing experts;
• discovering alternative ways to generate marketing dollars to promote Northwestern Ontario and individual businesses;
• understanding crucial survival information to help navigate through these challenging times in a changing economy;
• learning from the experience of others – what works and what does not work;
• hearing success stories from other regions, including Ontario, Manitoba,  Northern B.C, Branson, Oregon, California, Hawaii, and South  Eastern United States; and
• influencing decisions for regional tourism product development and marketing.

It was an informative and empowering event, featuring outstanding presenters and great idea sharing among participants.  Check out the Summary of Proceedings and view the presentations by clicking on the buttons to the left.
