Yes, we have. Below you will find a list of some of the awards that OEB Enterprise has earned in recent years.
Recent Awards:
2007 Ontario Tourism Marketing Award
A VIA train car wrapped up to look like a slot machine, and a special Niagara Falls service that included blackjack lessons and wine tastings, earned the partnership of VIARail, Fallsview Casino and Peller Estates the Best Tourism Marketing Partnership honours at the Ontario Tourism Marketing Partnership Awards.
The project, which also included brochures, a dedicated website page and promotions to tour operators, resulted in a significant increase in summer visitors to Niagara Falls.
The awards recognize marketing campaigns and news stories that successfully promote the province as a must-see destination. Nominations were open to all organizations or individuals in the tourism hospitality industry operating in Ontario. The categories covered key sectors within the tourism industry including travel trade, industry, journalism and photography.
