French Translation 2024/25 Application

RTO7’s offer of the Partnership Program for 2024/25 is contingent upon the Ministry of Tourism, Culture & Sports' approval of RTO7’s 2024/25 Business Plan.

If you are unfamiliar with the Partnership Program and applications, I highly recommend calling (Alex 705-441-2931 ahogan@rto7.ca) to first talk through your proposed project and/or completing the application, as the process is greatly simplified with some direct explanation prior to completion of the application.


RTO7 reserves the right to limit the number of programs/funds that one stakeholder may receive per year.

Please read the Partnership Program Guidelines  for important background information before completing this application.  The Guidelines refer to a Resource Guide which we have put together that contains lots of useful information that relates to Partnership Program projects (e.g. target markets, performance metrics, the importance of data, etc.) - we encourage you to check this out.

Keep in mind that given the recent increase in demands on limited resources and our desire to increase the region's sustainability, RTO7 will require incorporation of Plan Ahead/Book Ahead messaging into projects as appropriate. This should help to ensure fewer visitors are disappointed upon arrival (if they have not booked and are unable to get access or be served), thereby improving the quality of their visit to the region, but will also make it easier for operators to budget and plan when they know more/less what demand will be.
Performance Metrics

Please indicate how your organization will evaluate the success of the project.

Select at least 2 metrics that are appropriate for your project and that will help determine whether it met expectations.

SUSTAINABLE TOURISM *
RTO7 is committed to sustainable tourism (link out to get a better understanding of what we mean by this) and we hope you are too! As one aspect of our sustainability journey, we will be looking to our tourism stakeholders to collect and share sustainability related data in future. 

While  collection/reporting of this data will not impact on evaluation of your application this year, it may in future years.

We believe sustainability is good for your business and we're committed to making it as easy as possible in the future for you to incorporate and report on your sustainability so that down the road, we will be able to tell the sustainability story of the region (and your operations) in our promotions.

We will be directing you to a survey with a long list of potential sustainability indicators - we'd like your input as to which you are currently collecting and/or are willing to report to RTO7 on annually for the purposes of an aggregated tourism story and improved decision making.  

Please read carefully...

For  this  year, we're simply collecting information.  To complete the survey as a required part of your application process follow these steps:

  1. Click on the link below - the sustainable tourism survey will open in a new window.  
  2. Click on the box below to indicate that you have done so and will complete the survey immediately after hitting submit on this application. Then continue on to complete the funding application and hit Submit.
  3. Next go to the survey window, complete the survey and hit submit (you have now completed the application process - both documents will be required for an application to be considered complete).
