Province of Ontario Announces New Tourism Regions - Brampton Part of Region 5

Ontario is paving the way for a stronger, more competitive tourism industry by supporting the formation of 13 new tourism regions and Regional Tourism Organizations. This announcement includes the City of Brampton which is now part of Region 5, an area that also takes in Toronto and Mississauga.

Regional Tourism Organizations will be established in regions across Ontario in early 2010. These organizations will be responsible for working with tourism partners to enhance and grow that region's tourism products and marketing activities.

This regional approach, developed in consultation with the tourism industry, will help better coordinate tourism marketing and management, attract increased visitation, generate more economic activity and create jobs across the province.

The Province will help the industry transition to the new tourism regions by providing $25 million in each of the next two years. This funding is in addition to the $40 million in ongoing annual funding announced in the 2009 Ontario Budget.
