Thank you for your interest in having your business listed on visitvaughan.ca. Our website is part of the Central Counties Tourism (RTO6) website YorkDurhamHeadwaters.ca. That means when you register your business to be listed on our site, you’re also listed on theirs!
VisitVaughan.ca was created to attract visitors to Vaughan and to help visitors plan their trip and explore all that there is to do in our city. From attractions, restaurants, accommodations, festivals and events – they all play an important role in attracting visitors to our community.
To align with the objective of attracting visitors, Tourism Vaughan has defined criteria in standardization with the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, Festival and Events Ontario, the Ontario Tourism Marketing Partnership Corporation, and Central Counties Tourism.
For the purposes of the Vaughan tourism website, a tourism attraction is defined as a place that:
- Is in the City of Vaughan;
- is promoted to and attracts tourists. A tourist is defined by the Ministry an individual who travels 40 km or more [one-way] to attend an event and/or stays overnight in a local accommodation;
- demonstrates a capacity and intention to develop itself as a tourism driver over the long term; and
- is open to all members of the public. Both free and ticketed attractions are eligible.
In short, all content is assessed on its ability to influence and motivate travel to Vaughan. Unsure if your business applies? Email us at tourism@vaughan.ca.
