Toronto Tourism Visitor Guide 2008 - (Page 2) It is my great privilege and pleasure to extend greetings and warmly welcome you to Toronto. I hope the Toronto Visitor Guide 2008 plays an important part of 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 playground that welcomes visitors from around the globe. A liveable 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 experiences 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’ve experienced our unmatched hospitality and sampled everything our city has to offer, I know you’ll leave with many pleasant memories that will inspire you to come back and see us again. Yours truly, 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 citywide festivals that fill the streets nearly every week of the year. Our city 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 2008 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, downtown core is also the gateway to major attractions, golf, shopping and boutique town experiences across North Toronto, Mississauga and York Region. 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, Visiting Toronto is a Mayor David Miller City of Toronto 2 www.torontotourism.com David Whitaker President and CEO, Tourism Toronto http://www.torontotourism.com
