Charlotte Moore develops digital projects for RTO4, a ministry-funded tourism development incubator in the Province of Ontario, Canada.
Over the past 10 years the Regional Tourism Office has been a leader in developing tools and processes to create sustainable tourism organizations that engage and empower stakeholders and build destination strategies that serve residents and communities.
