Peterborough & the Kawarthas Tourism (PKT) is hosting the 2015 Travel Media Association of Canada (TMAC) Conference & AGM in Peterborough in June 2015—the first time the well known association has chosen to host its conference in a rural destination.

This is a huge opportunity to showcase Peterborough and the Kawarthas—and all it has to offer—to travel journalists, photographers and bloggers across the country.

PKT are using a striking image (see above) by local artist John Climenhage that represents Peterborough & the Kawarthas to be included on marketing and conference materials, the conference website, email communications and collateral.

The image showcases a variety of local experiences, landmarks and landscapes, and will become a signature art piece to display at the Visitor Centre located at 1400 Crawford Drive.
