City hopes to increase visitors to P.A.
Half a million dollars could be used to draw more people and major events to Prince Albert.
Last year, the city started collecting additional dollars from hotels to go toward a fund that would be specifically used to promote major events. The tradeoff is with more people coming to the city, hotels will be busier.
After this year, the total dollar amount raised is expected to be $600,000.
At a meeting with the Destination Marketing Levy Advisory Committee on Tuesday, city manager Jim Toye is expected to present a plan on how to use the additional funds. At the moment, the plan is for organizers to submit events to the city and receive funding.
