On January 25 from 1:30 pm to 4:00 pm, join tourism industry expert William Bakker of Destination Think to discuss tourism market trends with a focus on the tourism landscape, pre-COVID, and post-COVID. Attendees will hear about destinations that are re-imagining themselves with a goal of re-building, with both the economy and environment in mind. A facilitated breakout session will focus on how stakeholders in Huron County’s tourism sector can collaborate towards a successful recovery from COVID-19.

“The County remains dedicated to working collaboratively and supporting our vibrant tourism sector,” says Warden Glen McNeil. “Specifically, I want to thank the industry for the resiliency and innovation they have shown over the past year.
