A delegation of tourism officials from North Carolina made a stop in Toronto last night during a sales mission to Canada to update industry personnel on all that’s happening in the state. According to Heidi Walters, NC division of tourism, 454,000 Canadians overnighted in North Carolina last year, a new record. A highlight on the 2014 calendar for North Carolina will be the hosting of the men’s and lady’s US Open golf championships at Pinehurst in June. Pictured at the event are (l-r) Jack Bickart, Pinehurst, Leslie Brewer, Biltmore, April Beauchamp, NC Canadian rep, Lorrie Love, Outer Banks, Brandy Larrick, Visit Charlotte, Charmaine Singh NC Canadian team.
