The efforts of Canadian and Ontario tourism mar- keting corporations have paid off in the form of a TV show being filmed right here in Waterloo Region. The Korean TV show, called Battletrip, features an actor and actress who visit different areas of the world and essentially complete to see who can have the most exciting va- cation. Two episodes will be filmed in Ontario and St. Jacobs - specifically the St. Jacobs Farmers' Mar- ket and the Kissing Bridge in West Montrose - will be part of that. The other destinations include Niagara-on-the- Lake, Thousand Islands and other Ontario desti- nations. While the TV show is an exciting opportunity to showcase Ontario, it's the result of hard work done behind the scenes to pro- mote Korean tourism both provincially and na- tionally, according to Minto Schneider, CEO of the Waterloo Regional Tourism Marketing Cor- poration. "People really like game shows and this one has two stars that are go- ing to be here," said Schneider. "They will at- tract people who are going to watch that show." Destination Canada in- vested heavily this year in an integrated marketing plan, using the organiza- tion's offices in Korea to draw interest in Canada. Aside from Korea, Can- ada has seen a dramatic increase in Chinese tour- ists. Last year, an estimated 682,000 Chinese tourists entered Canada and this year, 766,000 are estimated by the end of the year. Part of the reason for that increase is Canada opening 11 new visa offic- es in different regions of China. Chinese tourists who travel abroad require visas from those coun- tries. On average, according to Designation Canada statistics, Chinese tour- ists spend $2,387 each when they travel to Cana- da. "They spend a lot, a lot of money here," said Schneider. While Waterloo region doesn't have the budget to draw in tourists directly from China, the tourism marketing corporation has partnered with orga- nizations in Toronto to help showcase the scen- ery and activities of Wa- terloo Region.
