TORONTO, June 05, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Summer Fun Guide ( https://www.summerfunguide.ca/ ), Ontario's online tourism directory, lists thousands of things to do and places to stay in Ontario. Some of them are ONLY found in Ontario, with distinct qualities and characteristics that aren’t duplicated anywhere else in the world. Nine are highlighted below.
Ontario is currently a hot tourist destination, appearing on “best of” lists around the world. The province offers something for every taste and interest, ranging from big, cosmopolitan cities like Toronto and Ottawa, to small, quaint towns like St Jacobs, with its Mennonite farms and buggies, and the Muskoka Lakes Region, recognized by National Geographic Traveler as one of the best places to visit in the world. Whether you are visiting the province, or living in it, you will not believe how much Ontario has to offer. That’s why Summer Fun Guide’s easy-to-use online guide is set up to help people find great attractions, festivals, resorts and things to do in Ontario. Sometimes, it is cool to see things that are “only in” the place you are visiting, so Summer Fun Guide has created a list of 9 “must-sees” that can only be found in Ontario.
"Until we started Summer Fun Guide, we had no idea how much there was to see and do in Ontario, some of it right in our back yard! You don’t need to travel the world to find special things - there are several attractions that are entirely unique to Ontario," says Shari Wert, one of the publishers of Summer Fun Guide, "This list is for people who want to have fun, in a place unlike anywhere else in the world," says co-publisher Elisa Morton Palter.
