Next phase for marine tourism study GREGGCHAMBERLAIN gregg.chamberlain@eap.on.ca Limoges, which this month unveiled its latest expansion phase. St- Amour cautioned that right now the potential benefits from the Plania studies are not as concrete as Calypso Park was.Warden René Berthiaume expressed agreement with St-Amour’s cautionary view but also noted he is “very excited about this study”because the big tourism outfits are already starting to see the potential benefits for

He agreed that developing marine tourism projects for some of the smaller communities in Prescott-Russell would be more challeng- ing but could still be worth pursuing once the second Plania report is available. “There will be specific recommendations coming out of this study that each municipality can use as tools,”Berthiaume said.

The counties council has accepted an April report from its economic develop- ment and tourism committee to contract with Plania for phase 2 of a marine tourism review of the Prescott-Russell region. The study will expand on the details in the pre- liminary overview report presented to the UCPR earlier this year. “For the next step, what do you do?” said St-Amour. “If we let it (study results) go be- cause it’s too rich for our blood then we’ve wasted money for nothing.” He noted that his municipality was ready to buy into a past study on the potential for a water theme park development because there was a certainty that it would happen. The result was the Calypso Park project near
