MEDIA RELEASE – Trade Show
Attention All the
Outfitters, Resort Owners and all groups with an interest in promoting our
amazing “Made in Greenstone” outdoor experiences.
Recognizing an emerging
opportunity to support economic development opportunities related to tourism,
The Municipality of Greenstone has agreed to support two Greenstone ambassadors
to attend the Tourism Trade Show in Stuttgart, Germany. The CTM Trade Show runs
from January 12th - January 20th , 2013 and last year
over 2 million visitors travelled through this show.
This event marks the first
step in Greenstone’s efforts to tap into the European tourism market.
Volunteering to working a
booth for nine days, our ambassadors will be exposing and demonstrating with
multimedia, all that Greenstone has to offer such as outfitting ventures,
fly-in operations, local resorts and campgrounds and regional amenities such as
parks, boat launches, kayaking, snowmobiling, ice fishing, ice climbing,
hunting, golf, hiking, swimming, boating and the myriad of other secrets we all
know too well.
The Municipality invites
all Greenstone businesses to use this opportunity to advertise in Stuttgart,
Germany through us. We will have laptops and internet capacity at the booth, and
will encourage visitors to browse and be guided through your websites and
pictures.
Please provide us with your
promotional brochures and pamphlets by 3:00pm on Friday, December 21st at the
Geraldton Administration Building or local ward office. Your materials will be
shipped overseas during the first week of January and distributed at the event
by our ambassadors.
Electronic pamphlets and
media (subject to size limitations) can be provided to us and used on your
behalf.
The Mayor and Council are
encouraging ongoing support to strengthen the partnership with the local
Chambers of Commerce.
The Municipality of
Greenstone continues to pursue strategic initiatives to capture growth
associated with the tourism sector, and is excited to be a part of this project.
Readers and listeners are asked to spread the word and help us make this a huge
success. For more information or inquiries, please contact:
