Press Release Body: Toronto, Ontario - Back Country Tours, a new and exciting
business in Ontario, introduces all-inclusive guided adventure tours of Haliburton's
extensive wilderness trail systems on ATV's (All Terrain Vehicles), snowmobiles, and
Military H-1 Hummers.

Over the last several years, a new trend has been emerging in the Ontario resort and
tourism industry--adventure tourism-and it is growing by leaps and bounds. Adventure
tourists come to an area to take part in a particular event, activity, or
experience. In the past, vacationers were content to just sit back and live the
cottage lifestyle offered by the many small to mid-size resort and cottage resort
properties that dominate Ontario's vacation resort industry. However, today's
vacationer is looking for unique experiences to add to their Ontario getaway.

In the Haliburton Highlands tourist region of Ontario, a new and exciting area
business is creating quite a buzz by offering all-inclusive guided adventure tours
of Haliburton's extensive wilderness trail systems on ATV's (All Terrain Vehicles),
snowmobiles, and Military H-1 Hummers. Haliburton's Back Country Tours, Inc.
(http://www.backcountrytours.ca) offers a wide variety of custom adventures designed
to appeal to beginners and experts alike. Partnering with area restaurants and
resorts, Back Country Tours offers several package options including those
especially designed for corporate team building sessions. From ATV and Hummer
rentals to fully guided tours and overnight safaris, guests are fully outfitted to
enjoy the Haliburton wilderness.

"Back Country Tours' 'You Drive Adventures' was created to promote tourism in the
beautiful region of Haliburton and Muskoka by encouraging people to head out of the
city and explore all the natural attractions that Ontario has to offer on an all
terrain vehicle," states Dudley Hookong, Owner of Back Country Tours, Inc.

"Haliburton's rugged terrain and scenic natural wilderness combine to make the
region an ideal location for our guided ATV and Hummer trail adventures, ATV
rentals, and even our winter snowmobile tours for winter adventurers. Many of our
clients have told us that they will be returning again to the Haliburton area
because they have had such an amazing adventure with us. Businesses like ours
definitely help the economy of the area by bringing in tourists that may not have
otherwise come. Our clients have come from across Canada, and from all over the
world, to experience an outdoor adventure in Ontario's Canadian Shield," adds
Dudley.

Long regarded as an unspoiled and beautiful wilderness area and a sportsman's rugged
playground paradise, the Haliburton Highlands is slowly gaining prominence as a true
adventure tourism destination resort area with world-class attractions and
tourist-based activities. Haliburton is home to the Haliburton Forest & Wildlife
Reserve with its popular tourist attractions such as the Wolf Centre and Walk in the
Clouds canopy tour as well as the world-renowned Algonquin Provincial Park with its
multitude of tourist-based attractions. The Haliburton Highlands has over 1,700
kilometres of outstanding ATV trails that extend into the Muskoka, Kawartha, and
Madawaska regions as well as extensive snowmobile and Nordic ski trails. The growth
in adventure tourism places the Haliburton Highlands in an especially attractive
position. With the addition of businesses such as Back Country Tours, Inc. offering
