Creative Rural Communities - Prince Edward County, Ontario

Destination provided an authentic tourism experience related to culture, arts, food, heritage and people.  Destination was one where there is cooperation among all segments of industry to cater authentic experiences to the tourist. This mission focused on local foods, heritage, culture, tradition, culinary techniques and the process of capitalizing on these elements to establish a rural experiential destination.

- Putting a group of likeminded people in the same room was great. We could share experiences, offer advice and guidance and understand how somebody else views our community

- Make a greater effort to work with other tourist venues aside from the arts

- We have the “authentic experiences” but we need to organize and focus

- Partnerships of the inns with attractions and promotion of the other sites is a wonderful model.
