After six months of development, Dufferin County Council has approved a five year Tourism Strategy and Action Plan prepared by consulting company, Bannikin Travel and Tourism. ⁠
⁠
“It allows regions to really tap into people who have similar values. I think we can agree that we don’t want to send a message and call everybody in and say ‘welcome to Dufferin.’ We want to have a very targeted message and speak to a very targeted type of visitor who can respect and appreciate the natural assets and the creative community,” said Terrilyn Kunopaski, director, Bannikin Travel & Tourism.

For this installment of #BannikinBeats we turn our ears to Hibari Misora, a Japanese singer, actress and icon.
⁠
Misora recorded more than one thousand songs and sold 68 million records in her lifetime, while appearing in more than 160 films. Following her death, demand for her recordings only grew, and by 2019 she had sold more than 100 million records. ⁠
⁠
Her swan-song "Kawa no Nagare no Yō ni" (meaning Like the Flow of the River) is often performed by numerous artists and orchestras as a tribute to her and each year there is a special on Japanese television and radio featuring her songs. ⁠

"Designed to give would-be globetrotters something to look forward to (after all, studies show that half the fun of an adventure lies in anticipation), Dateless First Departures are all about finding a sense of calm in the zen gardens of Japan, roaming the rainforests of Costa Rica, and disappearing into ancient history on a tour of Vietnam — once it's safe to do so."⁠

Today's #BannikinBeats selection is Chilean folk singer Victor Jara's eponymously-titled first LP. ⁠
⁠
One of the main contributors to the Nueva Canciòn (New Song) movement of the 1970s, Jara's music and performances were significant in helping Salvador Allende and his Popular Unity Party ascend to the presidency in Chile in 1970. ⁠
⁠
Through his support of the hardworking Chilean people from whom he came, Jara was a cultural hero in the eyes of the people. ⁠
⁠
When Allende's time as Chile's president was cut short as General Pinochet orchestrated a coup, Jara was among the tens of thousands rounded up and murdered. They became known as the desaparecidos, or the disappeared. ⁠
