King Tourism Announcement
For 3 years King Tourism has been my labour of love and I have found great pleasure in promoting the beauty of King, its many events, activities, places to explore and businesses to residents and visitors alike. Unfortunately, I am not in a position to maintain my efforts going forward. Website monitoring statistics collectively reached over 300K. To my delight visitors came from all corners of the GTA, Ontario, Canada and the United States, and some from Europe. I had the distinct pleasure of communicating by phone and email with browsers asking for King information and literature. I would like to thank all of those who have supported and found value in King Tourism over the past several years and apologize for the inconvenience of the website going off-line.
It has been my pleasure to serve you - Thank you, Andrea Kollo
