The Nunatsiavut Government’s Tourism Division has launched a 45-minute online course introducing community members to the concept of Indigenous tourism.

The course was created to help residents gain a better understanding of tourism development in Nunatsiavut, and incorporates a blended format of self-pace, coaching and support to the Division of Tourism team to build their skills and confidence.

Indigenous tourism is one of the fastest-growing sectors of the tourism industry.

Minister of Tourism with the Nunatsiavut Government Roxanne Barbour says they hope the course will help advance the region’s “tremendous tourism potential.”
