We need your help to grow tourism in our region by offering your frontline workers a chance to “Familiarize” themselves with some of the tourism highlights this area has to offer! This event will take place on June 8th with an option for June 9th if needed.

We realize that often our frontline workers are those in first contact with visitors to our area and we believe they are vital ambassadors for tourism in our region. Therefore, we encourage you to give your employees the opportunity to be tourists for a day, where they can sit back and enjoy some of the local sights that they may not be familiar with.

This will give them the knowledge to assist tourists when they are asked “What is there to see and do in the area?”

CLICK HERE to get more details or to register. Registration deadline is June 2, so sign up today!
