During the first year alone, the rail helped increase tourism visits to Huron County by a phenomenal 30 per cent. These visits in turn generat­ ed an additional $2.8 million in tourism revenues and supported an additional 140 jobs in the local econ­ omy. But perhaps the most impressive and long-lasting outcome of this ini­ tiative has been the spontaneous co­ operation of food producers, restau­ rants and tourism operators that are now working together to share ideas, identify common challenges and plan joint marketing initiatives. The Huron Harvest Trail was spearheaded by the Huron Tourism Association with the support of groups like the Huron Federation of Agriculture, Huron Business Development Corporation, County of Huron and the CanAdapt Program.
