PRESS RELEASE
Yellowknife, NWT -- Northwest Territories Tourism (NWTT) - in partnership with the Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) - has launched its campaign to reignite NWT residents’ excitement for visitors. The campaign centres around an online contest offered exclusively for NWT residents where they can enter to win a $5,000 trip into the territory for their friends and family.
“We live in one of the most spectacular places on the planet and it’s time to share it once again,” says Donna Lee Demarcke, NWTT Chief Executive Officer. “Our hope is that this contest gets everyone excited to welcome back visitors - starting with our friends and family.”
Open for entries as of today, the “You’re Invited to Share the Spectacular NWT” contest can be found at YourInviteToSpectacularNWT.com. It features digital and printed postcard invitations that residents can send to their friends and family across the country. Physical postcards will be sent to all NWT mailboxes mid-month and both digital and physical postcards can be created via the website.
As residents invite friends and family to the NWT via the online contest page, a digital map will highlight all the cities and towns across Canada that have received an invitation. Additionally, residents are encouraged to use the #SpectacularNWT hashtag to tag and highlight their postcard invitations and their own special photos celebrating the territory.
“A strong tourism industry is vital to a strong NWT economy,” explains Demarcke. “It fuels existing and potentially new restaurants, hotels, retail stores and many other businesses throughout the 33 communities across the territory. Friends and family have always been a large part of NWT visitors and we are eager to welcome them back!”
The “You’re Invited to Share the Spectacular NWT” opens today and now runs until May 9th. The contest was extended for Mother’s Day to encourage residents to invite their moms to the territory. The winner will be announced on May 13th, 2022.
Make sure to enter the contest and share the link with friends and family!
