Roger Brooks Report
Last July, the NS Dept of Tourism contracted Roger Brooks to perform an assessment of the 'Bluenose Coast', of which St. Margaret's Bay area is a part of, to determine what we do and don't do so well in relation to attracting visitors.
He looked at everything generally available, from tourism materials, to guides, to local services, etc, and at each of our communities in detail. He then presented it in a workshop in Oct and finally, a detailed report.
This report has become a 'guide-post' for our SMB Beautification Project, the area's Community Development and Forum committees, the SMB Reg Dev Tourism Assoc. and for HRM and Prov Tourism organizations. It provides an incredible amount of ideas and recommendations that, if followed through with, could lead to vastly improved economic results for our area - for all local businesses and residents, whether involved in tourism directly or not!
We highly recommend that you take the time to read through it. It's well worth the effort. We could all benefit!
