Tomorrow’s Tourism Industry

Tourism, it’s important to the rural economy!

Many people don’t realize that having fun and staying healthy in the outdoors is essential to the continued growth of the economy. A growth in tourism will help turnaround the deepening recession, provide a powerful economic marketing stimulus and increase consumer discretionary spending while boosting federal and provincial revenues not to mention the health benefits of just getting engaged with the outdoors.

Rural communities remain critical to the economic, social and environmental fabric of Canada.  To attract the talent and skills necessary to sustain vibrant local economies, rural communities must become attractive to young people, immigrants and Aboriginal people.

The traditional tourism business approach to market is based upon a “this is what we have to offer”.  Tomorrow tourism will be based upon an approach of “what do you want us to offer”?  The TecVana experience will be indeed be designed by the market!

It is called Geo-Tourism, defined by the National geographic as; tourism that sustains or enhances the geographical character of a place – its environment, culture, aesthetics, heritage, and the well-being of its residents.  The potential for discovery is limitless.  TecVana communities are a place visitors would like to really get to know!

As stated by Dr. Bruno Lanvin of the World Economic Forum, “the TecVana concept is interesting and contradicts the common sense prejudices that connectivity keeps people indoors”.
