July 2026: Transportation, Visitor Intelligence & New Opportunities

Explorers’ Edge’s July newsletter celebrates the tourism operators working hard to welcome visitors throughout the summer season while highlighting new tools and partnerships designed to support their success.

The update introduces a creative new FlixBus video and a ready-to-use tourism operator toolkit aimed at increasing awareness of affordable transportation into and throughout the region. It also outlines the Regional Visitor Intelligence Program, which uses visitor exit surveys, anonymized geo-fencing data and Tourism Tip Tuesday text updates to help businesses and communities better understand visitor movement, spending and opportunities.

The newsletter also invites tourism operators to contribute to several important initiatives, including the Explorers’ Edge Business Confidence Index, the Parry Sound District tourism priorities survey and the Indigenous Youth Tourism Entrepreneur Strategy focus group.
