This engagement was about creating a long-term vision for tourism that all Yukoners could see themselves in. The steering committee recommended the strategy, Sustainable Tourism. Our Path. Our Future, to the Government of Yukon on November 23, 2018.
The strategy is guided by the core values expressed by Yukoners and lays out a ten-year vision for tourism to be a vibrant, sustainable component of Yukon’s economy and society for the benefit of future generations. The document lays out these values as well as goals and strategic actions to form the basis for future action plans.
We asked Yukoners to share their thoughts on the draft Yukon Tourism Development Strategy before October 3, 2018.
Your feedback has helped us finalize a Yukon Tourism Development Strategy. This strategy will guide future action plans on key strategic priorities for sustainably developing tourism in the territory.
Thank you to everyone who has shared their thoughts, expertise and passions throughout this process.
