Tourism Minister Defends Tourism Strategy

Ontario's Tourism Minister is disputing opposition claims that the tourism industry in northern Ontario isn't a big priority for him.

Michael Chan was challenged in Queen's Park this week by the NDP who cited the closure of tourism information centres as part of a failed strategy.

Chan says the province needs to look at technology to help market the region.

Chan adds that since 2010, the Liberals have also provided $18-million dollars towards a Regional Tourism Organization that helps market the entire north.
