Co-opetition key to tourism
By Lera Ryan
Rural Development Secretariat
OMAFRA
One of the current buzz-words is
co-opctition. Businesses or
organizations that have seen
themselves as competitors or as
having little in common, are
recognizing economic advantages
from working together.
Some farm operations are
attracting urban neighbours and
out-of-the-arca travellers to
activities that link agriculture with
other local attractions and services.
As the farm family gains an
alternate income source from the
sale of fresh produce, food or craft
products, a pick-your-own facility,
a farm tour, or a bed and breakfast,
the entire community benefits from
the additional imported dollars.
Tourism relates to the entire
community; the business, culture
and recreation sectors of the
community all play a vital role.
That is where the idea of co-
opetition is effective. Individual
businesses vying for the tourist's
dollars are in competition, but the
co-operative efforts of the
community will draw travellers and
hopefully keep them for an extra
day or two to experience local
events, services or attractions.

amenities continues to bring people
to rural Ontario. The willingness of
our communities to welcome and
host visitors with excellent food,
and high quality services, activities
and accommodations will
contribute to local economics.
Tourism provides employment,
profits, rents and taxes through the
sale of goods and services to
visitors. Tourism sales bring in
outside money, that in turn can be
used to increase local sales and
investments in existing businesses
and services. Tourism as an indus
try should always be a positive
contribution to the community and
