Are you open to locals for the winter season?  We'd like to help you promote your Northern Staycation!

Dear members,

If your business is open to residents this winter, we are here to help you get the word out. NWT Tourism is continuing our Northern Staycation program over the winter months to support your local marketing efforts to residents of the Northwest Territories.

With Territorial borders closed to leisure travel, those that have made the decision to operate this winter will be focused on residents being tourists in their own communities. NWT Tourism is here to support these efforts through every step of the recovery. Here's what we are offering in our winter Northern Staycation program

NWT Tourism is making opportunities available in the following outlets at no cost to you

• Operator listing on Northernstaycations.ca
• Northern News Services ads placed in the Yellowknifer, News North, Hay River Hub and Inuvik Drum
• Moose FM Radio ads
• Social Media: we will use the NWT Tourism social channels to communicate directly with our followers within the NWT
• 12 Days of Christmas promotion – Get your product out there and take advantage of residents giving the gift of adventure this holiday season.

* More opportunities can be added, discuss your “Staycation” marketing ideas with the team. We will keep you informed of these as they become available.

What is required from you:

• WSCC approval to operate based on safety plan being submitted.
• This offer is an exclusive opportunity for licensed businesses who are members of NWT Tourism
• The offers are available on a first come, first served basis. If you will be open and want to participate, please contact us as soon as possible.

We are open to your suggestions:
To take advantage of these immediate opportunities, or to provide suggestions about other ways we can connect your business to potential clients through marketing channels within the NWT, please get in touch with us right away.

Please contact Robin Williams at: robin@spectacularnwt.com

When new opportunities arise, we will be in touch with you again.

Looking at the Long Term
While our focus with this Northern Staycation marketing initiative is aimed at supporting the recovery of the tourism industry locally because border restrictions limit tourism activities to NWT Residents, please be reassured that NWT Tourism's marketing team continues to keep our destination alive in the dreams of those who will visit us again in the future, when our territory reopens to visitors.
