Sarah Laturnus

Tourism Manager

Happy Monday! A little update from my seat; the Mobile Tourism Ambassadors are almost all hired. I've selected the team lead and we will begin training in the next couple weeks! If you are interested in giving us a little orientation of your business to help us sell your location better, please send me a note and I'll be sure to set something up on our training schedule.

This week we see more partner season openings with Treetop Trekking and also 1000 Islands Tower just west of us on the parkway. 

Don't forget to RSPV if you'd like to join the Stakeholder Mixer and Brochure Swap happening next Monday May 16th! So far we have about a dozen participants and I'm hoping to see that number at least double by the end of the week. It's a great way to  have your promo material distributed and also get the word out about any 2022 business news.

At the end of this month I will be representing Brockville Tourism at Rendezvous Canada. An invitation only Travel Tradeshow that will have me meeting with Tour Operators who send bus and boat loads of tourists from all over the world to their partners here in Canada. I am hoping to gain more exposure for Brockville and will be working closely with Destination Canada and Destination Ontario on this initiative. If you would like to provide me with information regarding travel trade group options and pricing about your business, please contact me in the upcoming weeks. Also, if you would like to learn more about working with the travel trade industry I'd be more than happy to have a chat with you about it.

Do you currently offer a coupon for your business? Email me a copy for our ambassadors to use and send you more traffic this summer!
