The Discover Belleville guide was conceived as a comprehensive resource to showcase the rich cultural, historical, and recreational offerings of Belleville. The primary objective was to create an engaging and informative guide that would attract tourists, support local businesses, and foster community pride. Anticipated outcomes included increased tourism, enhanced economic activity, and a stronger sense of community identity.

Since its launch, the Discover Belleville guide has successfully met its objectives. Visitor numbers have surged by 25%, and local businesses have reported a 15% increase in revenue. The guide has been praised for its detailed and visually appealing content, which includes maps, directories and feature articles on local attractions. Feedback from both residents and visitors has been overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the guide’s role in enhancing the overall visitor experience and promoting Belleville as a must-visit destination.

The project faced several challenges, including initial funding constraints and the need to accurately represent the diverse aspects of Belleville. To address these issues, the team secured advertising from local businesses and applied for grants. Additionally, extensive community consultations were conducted to ensure the guide reflected the true spirit of Belleville. Based on feedback, the guide was updated to include more interactive elements, such as QR codes linking to virtual tours and real-time event updates.
