DID YOU KNOW ?DID YOU KNOW:

In 2001, the five most southern counties in Southwest Nova earned the distinguished designation of UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in recognition of its globally significant ecological and cultural landscape from the Man and the Biosphere Programme of UNESCO - one of only 15 in Canada and 500 around the world. Fostering the recognition and awareness of the Biosphere Reserve is the Southwest Nova Biosphere Reserve Association (www.snbra.ca). One of its mandates is to assist in the development and collaboration of multi-sector tourism products and partnerships. This workshop is designed to achieve just such mandate.

THE POTENTIAL :

The potential.Phenomenal. We have an internationally recognized UNESCO designation that showcases our best attributes - our natural assets. We have an extensive inventory of existing nature reserves and parks, museums and historic sites, beaches, campgrounds, accommodations, cuisine, festivals, crafters and artisans, guides, and more that bring the Biosphere to life.


As determined by research undertaken by NS Tourism, visitors to Nova Scotia are attracted to our Seacoast, Outdoors, Culture, Cuisine, Heritage and Urban experiences. Within the UNESCO Southwest Nova Biosphere, we have 4 out of 5!


Building on our strengths, let's package the pieces together and deliver year-round UNESCO Biosphere experiences in the marketplace.



THE OPPORTUNITY :

Develop and deliver exceptional sustainable year-round tourism packages and itineraries that deliver authentic, hands-on, engaging experiences for visitors to truly connect with and explore the UNESCO Southwest Nova Biosphere Reserve. Ultimately, we'll enhance the viability and sustainability of tourism and related businesses and suppliers.
