Our Executive Director, Chris Sheppard, is a familiar face within the Newfoundland and Labrador tourism industry and has more than 25 years of experience under his belt. Along with the many duties associated with leading the team and the DMO, Chris oversees product development in the region and works very closely with his colleagues at the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, and Recreation and other industry partners on municipal, regional, provincial, and federal levels.

Andrew, as Manager of Leisure Travel and Media Relations, works on our programs designed to allow your business to take advantage of the province’s award-winning marketing campaign. By working directly with potential visitors at consumer travel shows, interfacing with travel trade professionals, and hosting accredited travel media producers, Legendary Coasts members are well represented in the province’s efforts in our key markets. Andrew works closely with NL Tourism, the other four DMOs, and many other partners to ensure that our approach is cohesive, cooperative, efficient, and effective.
