Learn what it takes to get “Ready” to promote and sell your tourism product to travellers from around the world to the Northwest Territories.
- Business-ready refers to a tourism business that has all its licences, permits and insurance in place to operate legally.
- Market-ready describes a tourism business that has operated for two years or more and selling direct to the visitor.
- Trade-ready means that a tourism business is selling their tourism experiences through third party Distribution Sales Channels to reach even more visitors.
