Staff FAM |
Tourism Bureau FAM
Each spring, our staff takes time to visit member businesses on Island by request to stay informed of important aspects and/or new offerings at your business.
Such a day allows the MITB staff to experience the selected business and is also an opportunity for the our staff to get to know your staff and vice-versa. It is also an opportunity for our staff members to understand our member venues better in order to speak to clients about them with current knowledge when inquires arise.
Restaurants/Venues who would like to be involved are not required to provide anything. Though, it is common for the venues to provide a light sampling for the staff to experience your business fully.
