Guelph city to host 4 tourism workshops to boost local tourism businesses

Friday, February 10, 2023

In order to provide learning and networking opportunities for local businesses in Guelph’s tourism industry, the City of Guelph is hosting a series of workshops between February and April.

The workshops have been worked out after assessing the needs of the local tourism stakeholders. They are meant to be interactive sessions aimed at fostering collaboration and shared learning among people working in the local tourism industry.

“Ongoing conversations with our tourism businesses helped us tailor these workshops to the specific needs of our local tourism industry partners,” says Alex Jaworiwsky, Manager, Tourism and Destination Development.

There will be four in-person workshops, each with a unique focus: how to think like a tourism business, funding opportunities and grant writing, digital excellence, and volunteerism. Insights and ideas shared by the participants with each other in these workshops will be encouraged.

“We encourage people from both new and long-established tourism businesses to join us, as well as anyone wondering how they fit into our vibrant tourism industry, so we can collaborate and learn from industry experts and each other,” Jaworiwsky said.

Guelph is a city in Southwestern Ontario, Canada. Known as The Royal City, it is roughly 22 km east of Kitchener and 70 km west of Downtown Toronto.

The dates and themes of the four workshops are listed below:

1. Session: What does it mean to be a tourism business in Guelph?
   Date: February 15, 2023
2. Session: Let’s talk tourism grants
   Date: March 9, 2023
