Huron coun- ty, and Seaforth, would like to earn some of those tourist dollars. Four Seaforth representatives attended a Huron County Tourism 'Trade Show, April 28, and came away with new ideas to pro- mote tourism. The tourism show was spon- sored by the Tourism Promotional Ad- visory Committee (TourPAC), an ad hoc committee of people involved in the travel and tourism industry in Huron county. was held at the Huron County Museum, Goderich, and was open to invited community members. Seaforth representatives were Cathy Vida, Economic Development Coordinator; Bob Fisher, Business Improvement Association chairman; Larry Parker, Economical Development committee (EDC) chairman; and Judy Keuhl, EDC representative. Some of the features at the tourism show were a brochure exchange, a brochure pro- duction workshop and a tourism marketing workshop. Two speakers from government gave information on programs to help with tourism building. .Judy Keuhl found the tourism show to be good, but left her wondering where to go from there. The show made her realize how much Huron county has to offer to tourists with its' beaches, towns, fall fairs and culture. Judy preferred the idea of communities viewing tourism as a cooperative venture rather than individual. Larry Parker found the show to be a forum for the good exchange of ideas. He saw working together with communities to promote each other a good thing for the county. Larry saw that Seaforth needs to learn more of what Huron county has to offer, and how to accommodate tourists to make them want to spend another day here. Bob Fisher said Seaforth's interests were well represented, and noticed some other Huron county communities didn't attend. He liked the fact that the county took the initiative in tourism and hopes something good will come of it. Bob saw that work has to be done organizing county -wide cooperation to promote Huron county. Cathy Vida came away from the tourism - show with some ideas on how to begin in- vestigating tourism possibilities for Seaforth. She said much of Seaforth's McMaster Siem l ANCE BROKERS IN BROKERS C.

Cathy said Seaforth does have places of interest to tourists if we look at the broader picture of what tourism is. All participants liked the brochure ex- change and could see incorporate it into a tourism plan for the county and Seaforth. They said a new brochure could be created and displayed in racks in public places. The brochures could be alongside others from other towns in an exchange program to better promote the county. Seaforth's representatives had sugges- tions to make next year's tourism show snore successful, including inviting special interest groups such as campground and bed and breakfast operators. Most of the people representing seatorm favoured tourism promotion as a county- wide effort rather than an individual town effort due to the costs of promotion. Also taken into account was that beach towns do attract more tourists than most inland towns and by taking a cooperative ap- proach costs would be reduced.
