The Albert County Tourism Association which is an incorporated non-profit with 76 members and consist of some of the most iconic and economically significant tourism attractions in New Brunswick, would like to take this opportunity to present our concerns for your advocacy. As an association, our directors are focused on information dissemination, the marketing of our area, and advocating for the improvement of the economies in our surrounding communities.
Our tourism corridor has some of the most impactful guest experiences on the Bay of Fundy and in the wider New Brunswick – the unique Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park contributes over $70 million in tourism spending when looking at linkages, direct spend and trickle down effect. Another of our economic giants is Fundy National Park which is one of the most visited parks in Canada. The smaller players in our area also contribute tremendously to making our part of the Bay of Fundy a major economic driver within the Province.
