A new tourist idea is being discussed for our region, and both sides of the
border would be part of the plan
A group called the Heart of the
Continent Partnership, wants to create a new travel destination by connecting
the dots between International Falls and Duluth in Minnesota and Fort Frances
and Thunder Bay in Ontario.
The idea comes in the form of an interactive map
that would highlight the area’s natural features and it's historic sites.
Restaurants, Hotels and bars would also be featured.
The hope is to
create new jobs and tourism.
The group is on the verge of raising $200,000 that
would fund the project.
