What is the Ontario government doing now to promote tourism in Muskoka/Ontario as a result of the Summit coming here?
Ontario is preparing to welcome the world in 2010 with the G8 Summit in Muskoka and the G20 Summit in Toronto. In an effort to make the most of our time in the spotlight, we are working to inspire international and domestic travellers to take a closer look at Ontario as a travel destination using vivid, dynamic experiences and compelling stories.
