Cruise, trolley tour, and hospitality operator in Kingston, Ontario

The tech stack is operational—WordPress, Google Analytics, Adobe Creative Cloud, Hootsuite—reflecting a tourism business focused on marketing and content production rather than software development. Hiring is minimal and concentrated in operations and front-line hospitality roles, with seasonal staffing cited as a key challenge.
