Tourism Agreement

TOURISM AGREEMENT

Richibucto, June 29, 2023 — As part of the local government reform, the Kent Regional Service Commission is responsible for the tourism development department at the regional level.  The regional destination marketing organizations (RDMO) may take the form of an internal department of the RSC, an external third party, or a hybrid structure comprised of the RSC and the third party.  Each RSC may determine its specific RDMO structure and is ultimately responsible for the performance of its tourism promotion mandate.  In any case, the key feature of the RDMO must be an independent committee that serves as a voice for tourism providers in the region and influences the tourism promotion strategy.  The primary purpose of the RDMO related to the RSC is to be an independent and industry-driven collaborative body that develops and implements a regional tourism strategy (considering the RSC economic development mandate and overall regional strategy). The RDMO has a goal to connect regional tourism stakeholders in the territory covered by the RSC.

A tourism committee composed of elected officials and tourism business people has been created.  The Kent Regional Service Commission (KRSC) and Destination Southeast have signed an agreement to promote tourism in the territory served by the KRSC.

Destination Southeast’s purpose is to promote the authenticity of our region.  The organization’s vision is to be a united, diverse, and inclusive region to live and live authentic first-class experiences.  In addition, Destination Southeast will act as a regional destination marketing organization, accompanying, and supporting the marketing of regional tourism products in collaboration with key players in the tourism field.  Visit the www.dsenb.ca

The organization has several mandatory mandates, namely local planning, solid waste management, social inclusion services, community development, community transportation service, economic and tourism development as well as several responsibilities for regional collaboration.  Regional collaboration on policing is part of these additional responsibilities.
