An Undersaturated Market for Tourism Investment
Manage episode 442994149 series 3521055
With half a million annual visitors contributing over $300 million to the regional GDP, Unama’ki - Cape Breton’s tourism sector is robust, but nowhere near saturated. In this episode, we highlight a tourism investment case study in Cheticamp, the rapid growth of marine tourism, and the emergence of Mi’kmaq tourism. The consensus is that there are lots of opportunities for investors, and that collaborating is the way to go.
