Toronto Tourism Visitor Guide 2009 - (Page 2) It is my great privilege and pleasure to extend greetings and warmly welcome you to Toronto. I hope the Toronto Visitor Guide 2009 plays an important part in making your experience with us as rewarding as possible. Toronto is a city that prides itself on being one of the most diverse and hospitable cities in the world — a unique urban play ground that welcomes visitors from around the globe. A livable and safe city, Toronto combines the sophistication and appeal of a cosmopolitan metropolis with a charm all its own. Much of Toronto’s distinctive character can be attributed to the mosaic of cultures, and no stay would be complete without a visit to some of our diverse and exciting neighbourhoods. Our restaurants, museums and galleries offer an eclectic mix while our lively Entertainment District, film and cultural festivals, sporting events and unique attractions are dynamic exper iences to be enjoyed by everyone. On behalf of City Council and our 2.6 million residents, I am proud and delighted to welcome you to Toronto. Once you have experienced our unmatched hospitality and sampled everything our city has to offer, I know you will leave with many pleasant memories that will inspire you to come back and see us again. Yours truly, Visiting Toronto is a choice you’ll be glad you made. We certainly are. Perhaps it was the renewed energy and bold new looks of our famous attractions that inspired you. Or maybe you’re visiting for top theatre, international dining, vintage shopping or landmark hotels. It could also be our neighbourhoods and city wide festivals that fill the streets nearly every week of the year. This is a place to enjoy all of these — at your own pace and in your own way. It’s a city known for a style that is at once familiar and also genuinely Toronto. Our Visitor Guide 2009 features inspiration on more than two dozen of Toronto’s fascinating neighbourhoods. It’s the best way to see our true diversity. Walk the streets by day and by night. Savour the sights and sounds and, best of all, the exhilarating tastes and smells of every café, restaurant, market and festival. An exciting, yet intimate, down town core is also the gateway to major attractions, golf, shopping and boutique town experiences in Mississauga and York Region and even the legendary falls and wineries of Niagara. More than 100,000 dedicated individuals are working in tourism and hospitality across Greater Toronto. We’re all here to welcome you and make your visit one you’ll remember for a long time. Yours truly, David Whitaker President and CEO, Tourism Toronto Mayor David Miller City of Toronto 2 www.SeeTorontoNow.com http://www.SeeTorontoNow.com
