RTO8 Partner Spotlight
Celebrating The Best of Kawarthas Northumberland
Criteria for Kawarthas Northumberland Tourism Spotlight
To be considered for a Kawarthas Northumberland Tourism Spotlight on the Kawarthas Northumberland website, operators, experiences, or packages must meet the following criteria:
- Must offer a bookable or purchasable experience.
- The experience cannot be a one-off event.
- Must have a mobile-optimized website for easy access across all devices.
- Facebook does not count as a website. You must have a standalone website in addition to any social media presence.
- Third-party booking platforms such as Airbnb are not eligible.
- Must be able to provide at least three (3) high-quality images (minimum 1200 x 800 pixels). Images that reflect the region’s diversity, inclusivity, and accessibility are especially encouraged.
- Experiences must not have limited availability—seasonal or weekly offerings are acceptable, but they must be available on weekends.
- Must be active on social media, posting at least once a week.
- Accommodation providers must offer a package or value-added experience, not just a standard overnight stay.
