The Tourism Development Corporation of Cornwall (TDCC) is pleased to announce a stellar inaugural year of funding tourism initiatives in Cornwall and area.

A total of $141,900 was invested in the community from the Tourism Development Fund, allowing businesses and event organizers to increase marketing outside the City as well as improve the overall tourist experience. The net result is increased tourism activity leading to greater positive impact on the local economy, with the potential of generating more repeat visitors.
