Federal initiative to get more people visiting national parks will likely benefit Nunavut tourism official says, but more needs to be done
The federal government’s new Canada Strong Pass coupled with Canadian tourists’ reluctance to vacation in the United States might help Nunavut tourism but more needs to be done, says the president of an organization that advocates for the Nunavut tourism industry.
“[The pass] encourages Canadians to travel across Canada and is a tangible way to boost domestic leisure tourism and support local businesses during the critical summer season,” Alex Stubbing, president of Travel Nunavut, said in an email Wednesday, calling the introduction of the pass a “smart and timely move” by the government.
