Tourism is an increasingly significant contributor to local economic growth in Central Counties.

Our communities are turning to tourism as an opportunity for economic diversification and job creation. The retention of businesses and services in many communities throughout the region depends more and more upon visitor spending.

The Central Counties Community Tourism Planning Guide has been prepared to help community leaders direct and focus tourism planning capabilities at the community level. Central Counties Tourism believes this process will be a catalyst for community residents and leaders who are interested in exploring opportunities available to their communities through tourism.

For information on starting a Community Tourism Plan in your area using the Central Counties workbook tool, please contact your regional field manager.

For regions outside of the Central Counties/RTO6 region interested in using the Community Tourism Planning Guide, please contact cthibeault@centralcounties.ca for more information.
