Tourism is vital to the Northwest Territories’ economy. It’s an industry that boosts the revenues, creates jobs, supports development of infrastructure, and generates entrepreneurial opportunities. Tourism has the potential to drive economic growth in every region of the territory and communities of all sizes.
Have Your Say
Thank you to respondents for sharing your thoughts on tourism related economic opportunities and challenges that exist in your region. From February 1 to March 31, 2025, residents and industry professionals were invited to complete an online survey or attend an in-person session in Inuvik, Fort Simpson, Behchokǫ̀, Norman Wells, Hay River, Łutselk'e, Yellowknife and Fort Smith.
Background
Every 5 years the GNWT reevaluates the needs of the people, communities and economies of the Northwest Territories. As the Tourism 2025: Roadmap to Recovery(External link) strategy comes to an end, we need your feedback to determine the Territory's best path forward for the next 5 years.
Next Steps
