Name
Session 1D - Rethinking Tourism for the Future
Description
The coronavirus pandemic has triggered a global economic crisis in the tourism industry. In Canada, Indigenous tourism alone was on a steady climb to quickly becoming a $2 billion industry until the immediate and immense impact of COVID-19 turned it into a staggering revenue loss. Will removing travel restrictions, opening border closures, and eliminating mass gathering bans jump start the economy or do we need to restore confidence and rethink the tourism sector for the future? Join experts from the Indigenous tourism industry as they discuss the impact on this diverse, independent sector and how to move forward to build a stronger, more sustainable and resilient tourism economy.
