OPERATIONS IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM

The Operations Implementation Program (OIP) supports tourism stakeholders in BruceGreySimcoe by matching eligible operational and/or capital expenses with a $1,000, agency supported social media advertising campaign.

*NEW* 
To be eligible for OIP funding, tourism stakeholders must be seeking marketing support for a new or revitalized initiative, or an enhancement of an existing product or experience.  If you are interested in promoting an existing product/experience, you will be required to financially invest in a campaign through the Partnership Program Digital & Social Media Advertising.

Eligible expenses include property taxes, mortgage payments, capital renovations, and inventory costs. These expenses are leveraged to deliver targeted social media advertising that increases visibility and drives visitation.

The program is fully funded by RTO7, with no out-of-pocket costs for participants.
