Haliburton County is divided on paying for a presence on Trip Advisor.
A recent survey in the county received a large number of negative comments about possible plans to use the online travel company to assist in marketing the county’s tourism.
Some stakeholders still have a lot of questions about whether this will bring in business to justify the over $10,000 annual price tag. Others completely support using Trip Advisor as part of the county’s overall ad campaign.
County tourism committee members agreed to recommend to county council that they enter into a one year trial, with results to be evaluated by the county’s tourism department.
