Mayor John Leefe, two councillors and two staff members attended a 'Lets Talk Tourism' workshop this month hosted by the Nova Scotia Department of Tourism.
Leefe says their major concern was the loss of the Yarmouth to Maine ferry service.
He says the department is only beginning to understand how much the death of the ferry service has affected the region.
Leefe also says he's hopeful the Department now understands the need for their increased promotional and fiscal support throughout the region.
