Tourism Week 2022

We wanted to take a minute and share the information about Tourism Week which will be celebrated across Canada May 29 to June 4, 2022.

This year NWT Tourism, in partnership with the GNWT – ITI, will engage with NWT residents to raise awareness on the importance of the return of tourism to the Northwest Territories.

Share Your Spectacular
We are very excited to be working with the GNWT on the launch of a campaign for NWT residents during Tourism Week called “Share Your Spectacular.” For this campaign, NWT residents will be invited to share their best photo or video in the NWT, which highlights what is special and “spectacular” about their community and the NWT.

NWT residents will be encouraged to share their messages on their social media accounts, which includes Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok, and to use the #spectacularNWT hashtag. Residents who upload a photo or video, to a link provided, will be entered to win the grand prize of a $4,000 prize, and the runner up will receive a $1,000 prize. These prizes will be used for travel, accommodations and/or operator experiences within the NWT.

The contest will be open from May 30 to June 10, 2022. The announcement of the winners of the prizes will be made on June 14, 2022 at the Arctic Expo in Inuvik.

The new “Share Your Spectacular” contest will compliment the momentum of the current NWTT campaign that is in-market, “You’re Invited to the NWT”.

Please share this information with friends and family in the NWT to help remind residents of our spectacular landscapes and way of life.
