‘More support needed’ for NWT-based businesses over southern tour companies
Tourism operators are pleased that the GNWT’s new Tourism 2025 strategy maintains support for the sector, even if it offers few new highlights.
Tourism 2025: RoadMap to Recovery was tabled on March 30 in the legislative assembly by Industry, Tourism and Investment (ITI) Minister Caroline Wawzonek.
The strategy notes that tourism was one of the first sectors to feel the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, which caused “significant negative impacts” to 92 per cent of tourism businesses in the NWT.
