Request for Proposals - Event Based Tourism Strategy

,

The Town of Deseronto seeks Proposals for the preparation and authoring of an Event Based Tourism Strategy.

The Town of Deseronto is transitioning from a primary, secondary and service-based business centre - to a tourism, culture and event-based community. Currently, our residential and family-based tourism products are in development, and our regional partners are loosely engaged in our development process.

In order to provide guidance, the Town of Deseronto wishes to utilize a consultant to facilitate key regional stakeholder meetings to produce an event-based tourism strategy report that reinforces this tourism/community event-based theme as a driver of community development.
