The Cornwall Tourism Development Fund helps us improve our show by adding to our budget to secure essential production services required every year.

Marketing is important but can also be beyond our budget—this funding helps us reach additional markets and increases visitor attendance. If you’re hosting an event, CTDF funds can definitely benefit you!

The TDF's support was absolutely vital to our 240th Anniversary celebration in 2024.

The funding allowed us to create an extensive advertising campaign that drew a significant number of tourists to Cornwall and SDG Counties. Without this partnership, we wouldn't have achieved such a large attendance. We are incredibly thankful for the TDF's major role in making our event such a success.

The Cornwall Tourism Development Fund played an important role in the fundraising efforts for the new Cornwall Arts and Culture Centre.

As construction of the Centre ramps up, we look forward to the energy that the Centre will bring to downtown Cornwall; the Cornwall Tourism Development funding proved that support for arts tourism is strong in Cornwall.
