Tourist officials from across northwestern Ontario have gathered in Kenora today to discuss the future of Sunset Country.
Ontario's Ministry of Tourism called the meeting to talk about its proposal to create 11 new tourism regions. Sunset Country Travel Association Executive Director Gerry Cariou is hoping to convince them to maintain the local group.
"Our area of Ontario has unique tourist markets," says Cariou, "and should be marketed in its own regional destination brand as we are as Sunset Country."
Cariou says the new region proposed for northern Ontario is far too large to be effective.
