WINNIPEG — A new industry survey shows funding for Tourism Winnipeg, the city’s destination marketing organization, is at the low end of the national scale.
A recent national survey of DMO’s puts Tourism Winnipeg at the bottom of the list in funding per capita.
The average funding for communities of all sizes is $14 per capita. Tourism Winnipeg funding comes in at $3 per capita.
At Tourism Winnipeg’s annual meeting this morning, Marina James, CEO of Economic Development Winnipeg, TW’s parent organization, said increased funding will be sought from the provincial and municipal governments.
