Newfoundland and Labrador Product Development Strategy

- i -Appendix IIOther Tourism Project Ideas Identified During theStudyDuring the course of preparing this product development strategy a considerable variety ofproject ideas were identified. Many were identified by tourism industry stakeholdersduring interviews or in regional meetings; others had been identified in earlier studies andreports and a number were identified by the consulting team during the course of our work.Those of them identified as potentially fitting with the overall strategy and potentiallyhaving merit in the context of warranting further evaluation, were identified in the report.This appendix presents a list of the other ideas, by region and destination area. These werenot seen by the consultants as either fitting the strategy or having the same level of merit orpotential. However, if a proponent was to purse one of them further and is able to make aneffective case in its support, that should be listened to. In other words, our judgement,being of a preliminary nature, should not be taken as an absolute disqualification of thisidea.Avalon RegionSt. John’s and Area° Signal Hill – Enhanced interpretation program; more live events and programming;also at Cape Spear° Guided walking/interpretive hikes similar to the haunted hike; heritage walks;° Dining/entertainment/meeting banquet facility on the waterfront – suitable for grouptours, convention and meeting groups° Cold Ocean Aquarium, Logy BayBrigus/Cupids/Port de Grave° Events targeting the St. John’s market for day’s trip° Packages including the Bay Roberts art gallery and museum° Expand the Bay Roberts/Port de Grave Xmas Festival of LightsRest of the Baccalieu Trail° Expand the theatre programming in Carbonear° Develop boat tours and visits to Carbonear Island° Salmon Cove – trails, beach, Eagle TrailTHE ECONOMIC PLANNING GROUP of Canada Newfoundland & Labrador Tourism Product DevelopmentD.
