City to Consider One Tourism Entity

The Saint John Destination Marketing Organization is asking common council to consider establishing a singular entity to handle all things tourism. Spokesperson, Gail Bremner is suggesting the city get involved in a 5 year service agreement, which will mean increasing it's funding by 2.5 per cent. Bremner says the D-M-O will absorb the city's tourism department.

Bremner says this organization will give Saint John a distinct voice in regards to tourism, which is needed with Fredericton building a new convention centre, and Moncton getting a casino.
