 THE 1000 ISLANDS
INTERNATIONAL TOURISM COUNCIL, with its offices
located at Collins Landing adjacent to the
Thousand Islands Bridge, acts as the regional
promotion agency for the Thousand Islands Seaway
Region, Jefferson County and Southeastern
Ontario. The TIITC receives funding from TIBA,
Jefferson County, the State of New York and the
private sector.
The
primary purpose for which the TIITC is
responsible is to promote the 1000 Islands
International Region as a family tourist
destination by promoting the services,
attractions, and recreational opportunities of
the region as well as encourage the use of the
Thousand Islands Bridge System as the major
vehicular linkage between the two nations.
The
TIITC is responsible for the printing and
distribution of the 1000 Islands International
Travel Guide, a comprehensive guide to regional
attractions, accommodations, restaurants,
services, camping, fishing and outdoor
recreational activities.
The
Tourism Council supervises the preparation and
placement of paid advertising to stimulate
interest in the 1000 Islands Region as a tourist
destination. All advertising includes the toll
free phone number (1-800-847-5263) to receive
direct inquiries. the Travel Guide is sent as the
fulfillment piece to all inquiries received as a
result of these advertisements.
The
TIITC is also very active in preparing news
releases to stimulate editorial coverage in
newspapers and magazines. Publicity programs,
familiarization tours, and festival promotion
offer a substantial amount of interest for this
program.
The
TIBA and the FBCL, have long been key players in
the promotion of tourism-related development,
providing benefits of tremendous economic welfare
to this region. the TIBA's Welcome Center houses
the offices of the TIITC as well as offers
informational and comfort facilities to the
travelling public, located near the US bridge at
Collins Landing.
The
promotional partnership between the TIBA and FBCL
offers an international bond unmatched in other
regions.
