Quinn Promotes Economic Development, Tourism Abroad

Governor Quinn slipped quietly out of the country and is spending the day across the border in Canada.  Canada is Illinois' largest export market.  It received more than 19-billion dollars worth of Illinois exports last year.  Quinn wants to increase those numbers by strengthening relationships with key leaders in Canada.  He opened the Canadian Restaurant and Foodservices Association trade show plus met with key members of the life sciences and bio-energy communities.  The governor is also making efforts to increase tourism to Illinois.  He promoted the state as a top destination for both business and leisure travel during a luncheon in Toronto.   Quinn is the first Illinois governor to visit Canada in 15 years.
