Free Tourism Workshop: Is your business realizing its full potential?

Joggins Fossil Cliffs World Heritage Site
Thursday November 5th 9:15 AM-3:30 PM
Lunch Included

Tourism is Nova Scotia’s biggest industry generating 1.3 billion dollars in revenue and you are an important part of it. The industry has evolved, with visitors now looking for experiences, rather than location. Who are your visitors? Who isn’t but you want them to be and how can you attract them and keep them?

This workshop is designed to show you how to stop, take a step back and review your operation, how you market, who you can market in partnership with to share costs and most importantly, how you can make money without having to spend on marketing , which does not work for you. You will also learn how to improve the visitor experience through industry market readiness and address the importance of customer service in improving your bottom line.
