Does your business have a tourism offering? Something a visitor could see, do, or buy? Join a path and get found!
The Dufferin Board of Trade (DBOT) is a non-profit community-building organization dedicated to helping local businesses thrive. We recognize that the tourism sector has been incredibly hard-hit over the past two+ years by the pandemic.
To help our local tourism operators, we are creating Dufferin Tourism Trails – a network of virtual trails across Dufferin showcasing businesses in nine special categories such as Women-Owned Businesses, LGBTQ+ Safe Spaces, Accessible Businesses, etc.
Businesses highlighted on our Trails will receive coaching in certain categories to ensure they provide top-level services and experiences for visitors and commit to the principles and values of the category. Businesses can self-identify in several categories where coaching sessions are not required. The Trails and their businesses will be extensively celebrated and promoted within our community and nearby regions.
The Dufferin Tourism Trails project will highlight the diversity of businesses in Dufferin County, attracting more locals and visitors to discover our niche markets so they can spend more time and money in the region, growing community pride and increasing the visitor economy.
