Dear Members,
The Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) is inviting individuals, businesses, and organizations involved in the tourism and hospitality industries to provide input on the new Tourism 2030 Strategy.
The Tourism 2030 Strategy aims to ensure sustainable growth in the tourism sector, benefiting all Northwest Territories (NWT) communities through supporting and advancing economic diversification and employment opportunities while allowing us to showcase our culture, landscapes, and stories to the world. The strategy will be shaped by your feedback to ensure it reflects the priorities and opportunities unique to each NWT region and community.
NWT residents and tourism industry professionals can share their feedback online at Tourism 2030 Strategy by March 31, 2025, or during upcoming community focus group sessions. All Tourism 2030 information, including meeting times, locations, and key contacts is available here: www.gov.nt.ca/tourism2030.
