Our first entry was at the Spring Time in Quinte show in Belleville. The three day show attracted hundreds of visitors - reaching important target markets for Prince Edward County partner businesses. We distributed over 600 P.E.C.C.T.A.C. red maps and a large number of our partners brochures. Prince Edward County's exposure in the Ottawa show increased awareness of our beautiful island county for a large population base that was previously unfamiliar with our unique area. We are also reviewing a number of other travel and trade shows to attend in 2001.
Any suggestions are welcome.
For those partners interested in distributing the calendar of events, they can be picked up at the Chamber of Tourism and Commerce office - 116 Main St., Picton. Previous Project Administrator, Rebecca LeHeup-Bucknell has been hired as the Project Manager and Erin Richmond has been hired as the new administrative assistant. Both young women have their hands full now that the tourist season is upon us. Rebecca is busy implementing the recently completed marketing plan, while Erin is working to streamline the administration of the project. The project is now housed on the second floor of the Prince Edward County Chamber of Tourism and Commerce building.
