Tourism Strategies the focus of regional Economic Development Zones 9 and 10

 

Tuesday, March 24, 2006

Holiday Inn,

Stephenville, NL.

Benoit First Nation representatives attended a meeting of tourism stakeholders and operators in the tourism industry. We felt that our presence was necessary because even though we do not directly seek to attract tourism by our existence and by our activities, we indirectly do attract tourists.

It was felt that our involvement in the process will help bring Mi’kmaq concerns and priorities to the process.

Mark Felix with the Department of Innovation, Trade and Rural Development  was facilitator. Cyril Organ, Chairperson of the Community Development Committee (Plan B) also participated in the meeting along with owners of various tourism operations throughout economic zones 9 and 10.
