Introduction
Central Counties Tourism’s annual Tourism Symposium is the preeminent regional event focused on helping businesses and organizations build destinations, grow the visitor economy and create vibrant communities. People from your municipality, who are dedicated to driving increased visitation, attend this event to learn about new opportunities and best practices while networking with others to form new collaborations that will attract even more visitors. Your support is needed to offset the cost of this incredible event delivered for the benefit of your stakeholders.
Why Sponsor?
The Central Counties Tourism Symposium is the largest annual gathering of tourism-related businesses from the York, Durham, and Headwaters regions. Sponsorship of the Tourism Symposium is a cost-effective way to support your businesses/organizations that are dedicated to growing the visitor economy. Our sponsors are given the opportunity to showcase their organization and tourism initiatives to an audience of active members in the tourism community.
