Notes: Except for 'Quick Faqs' this page will consist of links to other websites. In appropriate categories, the link would take the website visitor to a static directory page that would list links to any specific information for the various regions.

Travel Information Sources - this is the category that will have the largest directory 'tree', ie, from national, to provincial/territorial, to provincial region DMOs (paid listings for non-TCRC members and down to local DMOs and municipalities that want to purchase listings. The information in this category will also be tied into the map specific databases and will be returned and displayed according to the specific map requested by the website visitor, i.e. a web navigational map of a provincial region would display Travel Information Sources listings for the region plus all listings of organizations within the region, example for Manitoba. Note: this is the category that allows use to put every community geospatially on the map and it will be a very important aspect of marketing the website to potential community content providers. Accordingly, it should display the main categories in the Map Directories.
