The Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization (OHTO) staff and board are excited to announce the 2024 virtual Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 9 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. This year’s AGM invites tourism operators and stakeholders to join OHTO as we “Remember When,” reflecting on where we’ve been, how it has shaped the present, and help prepare the sector for a prosperous and sustainable future.
On the agenda for this year’s AGM is an opportunity for tourism operators and stakeholders to learn more about OHTO’s programs, including the 2024 Remember When marketing campaign and “Wander Sustainably” responsible tourism approach.
“We are very excited to welcome tourism operators and stakeholders at our 2024 AGM. The AGM is a time to make connections and learn more about how to engage with OHTO to support the growth of tourism in the region,” said Nicole Whiting, Executive Director for OHTO. “We invite our members and anyone else interested in strengthening communities through tourism to join us.”
A highlight of the event will be a presentation from keynote speaker, Ben Vadasz of Destination Think. Vadasz’s presentation will focus on Collaboration: How We Can Turn the Global Spotlight on Local Initiatives, in which Ben will share best practice examples, solutions, and impacts to help local communities and businesses go further, faster, together.
