Binational Tourism
Familiarity Tours
As a direct result of the Binational Marketing
session delivered at the Binational Tourism Summit 2006, Empire State
Development suggested the development of a Binational Niagara Media Familiarity
Tour. They were involved in a very successful binational fam with Quebec
in 2005 and had developed a great model that could easily be
replicated.
The Binational Tourism Alliance hosted a May meeting with
ESD, Ontario Tourism Marketing Partnership and CVBs and Tourism Marketing
organizations from the Binational Niagara region, and partners agreed to proceed
with implementation of this first binational fam for June 2007.
Our first
BINATIONAL MEDIA FAM took place June 6 - 10, 2007. Click here to view the
