Operators are learning how to benefit the most from the recovery from COVID-19 travel restrictions
THUNDER BAY — In what's seen as a significant sign of the tourism sector's ongoing recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, stakeholders from across Northern Ontario have gathered in Thunder Bay for a tourism summit.
The three-day summit at a Thunder Bay hotel was developed as a partnership event between Destination Northern Ontario and Nature and Outdoor Tourism Ontario. "The sectors that benefited were the hotels and motels for the most part, but really, cottage rentals – anybody that had a cottage by a lake, especially drive-in – those operators did really well."But MacLachlan said fly-in resorts and lodges that depend heavily on customers from the U.S. experienced a severe downturn in business.
According to Pepe, Northern Ontario is well-positioned to be at the forefront of that upward trajectory.
