Chamber wants City to allocate more money towards tourism

The Thompson Chamber of Commerce will be lobbying the City to allocate the accommodation tax towards tourism.

 

A recent survey sent to chamber members, shows the majority of them want the tax to be allocated to either infrastructure or tourism. 

 

Chamber President, Keith MacDonald has more: "Tourism is really undeveloped in this community. We believe there’s a lot of money that’s being left behind and the same thing goes for the economic development. If you bring tourism, it just stands as a fact that they’re going to stay in the hotels. By staying in the hotels, that also will increase the accommodation tax as they increase more rooms".

 

The City of Thompson plans to revisit the Accommodation Tax, for the 2016 budget year.
