Tourism in Manitoba's Capital Region

Manitoba's Capital Region has the potential to attract new visitors and spending by combining our unique attractions and services.

To help coordinate efforts and opportunities, the Partnership of the Manitoba Capital Region (PMCR) and its partner Economic Development Winnipeg - Tourism Winnipeg will be hosting a Regional Tourism Workshop on October 6, 2014 to facilitate the creation of a "Capital Region Tourism Strategy" in order to better position Manitoba’s Capital Region in the growing Tourism Industry.

Tourism brings many benefits to our communities - it creates jobs, instills community pride, and supports local businesses. Tourism can help our region develop its economies by attracting new visitors and investment. A regional approach helps communities build on the strengths of each other, making them more attractive to tourists and more competitive in the tourism market.

The Regional Tourism Workshop will lead participants in a process that can be duplicated at the community level by participants to help create a Community Strategy in support of the Regional Approach.

Workshop Details *** October 6, 2014*** (Date Change)
