    Corner Brook MHA Gerry Byrne says our tourism sector needs fresh eyes and new thinking. He says the tourism marketplace is changing and we need to adapt with new ideas. Byrne says the west coast has enormous potential and people come here from all over the world and new trends like mountain biking is a big opportunity. Byrne says he would like to see trail initiatives in this area like the Great Coastal Trail along the Northern Peninsula.
