The Township of Algonquin Highlands is a wonderful place to live, and we work hard to ensure a variety of services to our residents.
Have your say on the future of the Visitor Economy (tourism) in the Haliburton Highlands!
The Tourism Department at the County of Haliburton is engaging residents through its first annual Resident Sentiment Survey (RSS). The goal of the survey is to collect resident opinion on the visitor economy to inform decision-making around sustainable and responsible development of the tourism sector and managing Haliburton Highlands as a destination. Residents are important tourism stakeholders for any destination developing its visitor economy. For this reason, they want to hear from you!
