Tourism is an important industry for the Northwest Territories. It helps to diversify the economy and contributes to our overall wellbeing and quality of life.
One excellent way to get involved in the tourism industry is to set up your own community walking tour for visitors to your community. With low start-up costs and limited supplies required to run the business, a community walking tour business can be developed with a limited financial investment up front. It can also be a starting point to offering other tourism products as the business grows, should you be interested in expanding your tour offerings.
The Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) has developed the following resource manual that provides information on what is involved in setting up a community walking tour business and includes some helpful tips for success.
