Tourist Numbers up in Kenora

Tourism Kenora says its seen an increase in tourist traffic through the city this summer.

Statistics show the number of visitors to the Tourism Bureau on the Harborfront are up from last year.

Heather Paterson is Kenora's Tourism Development Officer and says local businesses are also reporting a better summer season.

Paterson believes a marketing campaign carried out in the late spring and early summer in southern Manitoba and Winnipeg has played a big part in their increase in tourism numbers this year.
