#AMO2024 Recap

I could not be more proud of Tourism’s "Team Ontario" - including the operators, suppliers, destination marketing organizations, sector organizations, regional tourism organizations, & government leaders who came together from across the Province this week during the Association of Municipalities of Ontario Conference to have important conversations and to chart a course for our industry’s future prosperity - communication and collaboration are key!

Thank you Minister Stan Cho and your team for great conversations & connections made. A special thank you to Visit Mississauga and Nieuport Aviation for sponsoring our industry delegation and reception in Ottawa!
