Remote Tourism Activities to be allowed in 2021 under certain conditions
We are very pleased to be sharing some news with you today. Through the hard work of our Board of Directors along with myself, and with the constant work and support from the Covid Secretariat, the Office of the Chief Public Health Officer is allowing remote tourism activities to resume in the Northwest Territories for the summer season in 2021 under certain conditions. This is an important first step in the restart of tourism in the NWT.
The NWT Tourism Association has developed a set of management practices for remote tourism operators for the summer season. These practices are designed to keep residents in the NWT safe, while allowing remote tourism activities to resume.
Here are some helpful links for tourism operators who wish to apply for authorization to host out of territory clients at remote sites in the NWT.
