Tourism in the NWT showed continued recovery in the 2024/2025 year, building on the rebound seen in the 2024 season. Based on available data, the NWT has returned to 65% of pre-pandemic (2019) visitor levels. The recovery in visitors coming to the NWT slowed in the 2024/2025 year, likely due to wildfire and flooding anxiety remaining from the 2023/2024 season.

This program is intended to encourage film producers to choose the Northwest Territories (NWT) as their film location by rebating a percentage of the money they spend in the area. The rebate covers costs such as goods and services, traveling within the NWT, and hiring or training local residents.
