WASAGA BEACH – Wasaga Beach is celebrating the launch of its very first Mobile Tourist Information and Welcome Centre – and it’s already turning heads. Designed with a fun 1970s-inspired look, the new unit arrived just in time for the Town’s last long weekend of summer celebration, Memories of Summer.
Following this weekend's epic celebration, the beach-themed welcome centre will hit the road to promote local tourism operators, attractions, and businesses at other events in Wasaga Beach and across the region.
“This is a game-changer for our tourism strategy,” said Brian Smith, Mayor of Wasaga Beach. “It gives us the flexibility to bring Wasaga Beach directly to visitors, highlight our vibrant business community, and encourage people to come experience all that our town has to offer.”
The Mobile Tourist Information Centre will serve as a hub for maps, guides, insider tips, and updates on upcoming events, while also acting as a rolling showcase of the community’s unique character.
The new unit features a retro marquee sign, swag shop, and tourist information rack for maps and other marketing material.
It also features a timeline of key events in the history of Wasaga Beach from its earliest settlers and the first successful overseas flight from Canada's mainland, which took off from Wasaga Beach, to its evolution as Ontario’s summer playground and the recent $38 million investment by the province to create Destination Wasaga.
