F'A'R AS TRY SHRUBS U Tour PAC to host trade show BY MELODY FALCONER The newly formed Tourism Promotional Advisory Committee (TourPAC) hopes to provide an opportunity for Huron County tourist operators to share business ex- periences with each other at their first trade show, April 28. "We hope to create an atmosphere of co-operation in marketing to encourage businesses and municipalities within the county to promote each other," said Jason Chu, of the Huron County Planning and Development Department (HCPD). HCPD organized TourPAC in January of this year and is currently acting as an information resource for the committee as it is being established. Along with Chu, Carol Leeming, also from HCPD, is helping to coordinate TourPAC. Highlights of the trade show, which is free to all tourism -related businesses, in- clude a brochure exchange, free workshops, and meetings regarding the formation of special interest groups. The brochure exchange offers tourism operators a chance to maximize their Marketing efforts at the least cost by ex- changing their brochures with others in the industry for distribution at their establishments. The first of two workshops will feature a presentation by Sandra Chabot, manager of the Southwestern Ontario Travel Association (SWOTA). The topic will be tourism marketing. The second workshop, Pamphlets on the Cheap', will be presented by Claus Breede, director of the Huron County Museum. "The focus of the second workshop will be inhouse production of brochures - desktop publishing - to show people that you do not have to hire ex- pert consultants to produce brochures," explained Chu. "A simple, basic design that puts out the information is all that is needed." A session concerning the formation of special interest groups will be held with Rick Airey, from the Ministry of In- dustry, Trade and Technology; and Lori Waldbrook, from the Ministry of Tourism and Recreation. "As county tourism interests are diverse, we hope to promote cooperation and sharing within the industry. By holding this session, the possibility of for- ming' associations for such businesses as Loc LOW -FLOWERING ALMOND $113.95 -PURPLE SAND CHERRY 58.95 & $113.95 -PONTENTIILLA (White, Red & Geld) $12.95 auud up IN VAIETI REE5 -FLOWERING ALMOND -FLOWERING CRAB $27.95 9.95 -SAUCER MAGNOLIA $85.95 s TO ]KEEYOUR GAD N r• L'SSSMING ALL SUMMw''R SEE US A Y bed and breakfasts, or campgrounds might evolve. We are trying to encourage collective advertising among these smaller special t grou s within thet countysothatthey larger attractions, such as Stratford," said Chu. Trade show exhibitors will be given the opportunity to tour the Huron Coun- ty Museum; the site of the show, free of charge. "The museum is a world class facility and a major tourist attraction within the county and we feel that it is a very ap- propriate place to house the show," com- mented Chu. "The Friends of the Museum will be coming in to give guid- ed tours of the building to the ex- hibitors." TourPAC expects about 40 exhibitors to attend the show. "Exhibiting is on a first -come -first- served -basis, we have limited space and estimate that we can accommodate up to 40 tables. The county also intends to have a table to show what we are doing," ex- plained Leeming. Approximately 250 invitations to the show have been sent out to TourQuest participants (a tourism survey which was conducted in 1989), and to 26 local municipalities. "We also sent an invita- tion to Grand Bend, even though they are not part of Huron County. We feel that they are a major attraction, and a neighboring source of tourists," said Chu. Both Chu and Leeming estimate that the trade show will not cost more than $500. "We try to get the biggest bang for the buck," commented Chu. The trade show is the first activity organized by TourPAC, which has 15 members involved in different aspects of tourism from all parts of the county. "The show is really based on a cooperative effort - cooperation within the county. Cooperation between two county departments, government agencies, and the tourism industry," said Chu. "And if everyone cooperates successful- ly the trade show may become a yearly event," added Leeming.
