Tourism

Tourism will be greatly enhanced by the Park Place development, creating an economic spin-off that will benefit the entire community.

• The number one tourist destination in Canada is the West Edmonton Mall and in Ontario it is the Eaton Centre.
• "Lifestyle" centres in the U.S. are proven major tourist draws.
• The unique shopping, entertainment, dining and accommodation offerings at Park Place will bring thousands of new visitors to this community.
• Each visitor brings new dollars into Barrie – these dollars are spent throughout the entire city at local attractions, leisure spots, restaurants, retail shops and hotels.
• Park Place will help bring tourists downtown by luring them off the highway and then linking them to downtown amenities.
• Georgian College and Park Place will form a partnership programme so that the hospitality and tourism programs benefit from the fashionable restaurants and hotels.

Park Place will enhance Barrie’s offerings as a tourist destination, thereby bringing in new revenue to benefit the entire community
