Connect and Network

RTO3’s Regional Industry Exchanges are bi-annual events designed to facilitate networking, information sharing, and collaboration among tourism operators in the Hamilton Halton Brant region. These Exchanges include:

Tourism Updates: Stay informed on regional and provincial developments impacting the industry.

Industry Education and Training: Learn about best practices, emerging trends, and marketing strategies.

Collaborative Discussions: Share ideas and insights with fellow stakeholders.

These sessions provide valuable opportunities to build connections and align efforts for collective success.

2024/25 Sustainable Tourism Learning Series

RTO3 has launched our 2024/25 Sustainable Tourism Learning Series (STLS), featuring in-person events and a new library of resources, online materials and training programs centered on sustainable tourism practices. Tapping into the expertise of our Destination Sustainability Officer, Hamid Dwyer, we will be presenting a convenient curriculum of online training, webinars, resources to support our industry in becoming more sustainable. For direct notifications for related events and resources as they become available, follow our STLS Linktree here.

Our Bi-annual Industry Exchanges in Fall and Spring will provide stakeholders with an opportunity to come together, network, learn and share in their journey. This is your opportunity to learn how to implement sustainable tourism practices in your operations and become a leader in our region’s sustainability efforts.
