Digital Shift Virtual Workshop Series
​for the Tourism Sector


The Ontario Tourism Innovation Lab has partnered with WEtech Alliance to launch a Digital Shift Series for the Tourism Sector.

The virtual workshops are aimed at creating sustainable digital adoption for hard-hit tourism and direct-to-consumer businesses in Ontario planning for COVID-19 recovery.

Monthly one-hour workshops will include a special “Shift Expert” conversation in addition to a mix of tangible tools and templates for take-away learning.

The Digital Shift Series has been made possible with the support of the Ontario Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries, and is open to small businesses in Ontario. There is no cost to attend but space is limited.

SESSION 1 - May 19 @ 3PM:
"Backyard Tourism” with Shift Experts from WindsorEats
