A reminder about Tourism.
As you know, Guelph is a great place to visit. Our community is filled with music, arts and culture events, history and heritage, unique shopping and dining experiences, and outstanding sports and recreation facilities. It is important that the community is well supported and represented by effective Tourism initiatives and programs. This month, in support of Council’s direction regarding a request for proposals (RFP) for Tourism services, the City is hosting a community consultation session:
Wednesday, March 20, 2013
River Run Centre
4-6 p.m.The purpose of the session is to gather community input to develop a new vision for tourism in Guelph—we’ll focus on what services should be offered and delivered. The feedback will be used to inform the development of a request for proposals to identify a new community partner(s). The City has invited tourism partners, agencies, community organizations, and individuals—people who organize and participate in local and regional tourism activities—to come and share their ideas for promoting Guelph to potential visitors. You are welcome to attend the session and listen to these community discussions first-hand. Please encourage interested folks to come out and participate.
After considering all proposals, staff will report its findings to City Council and make a recommendation regarding the provision of Tourism Services in Guelph. Until then, the City’s Tourism Services department will continue promoting Guelph to visitors using promotional tools and activities which do not incur any additional costs for the corporation. Staff
