Conducted by: Submitted by: Tourism Café Canada & Brain Trust Marketing & Communications (January 2015) TOURISM DESTINATION VISITOR APPEAL ASSESSMENT: LABRADOR REGION Map of Labrador Visitor Region Submitted by: Tourism Café Canada & Brain Trust Marketing & Communications (January 2015). TOURISM DESTINATION VISITOR APPEAL ASSESSMENT: LABRADOR REGION Executive Summary In 2009, the tourism industry and province of Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) released their vision to double tourism revenues to $1.58B by 2020. Titled Uncommon Potential: A Vision for Newfoundland and Labrador Tourism (Vision 2020) this document has been a blueprint growth in NL guided by seven strategic directions. Underpinning the vision is respect for home, residents, travellers, communities and profitability. Labrador is an emerging destination that has been described as the ‘last tourism frontier’ to be developed in North America. VISION STATEMENT Newfoundland and Labrador be a leading tourism destination, offering an authentic and exotic experience, through the ‘creativity brand pillars of people, culture and the natural environment’. Uncommon Potential Situated near the iconic Gros Morne National Park and the Viking Trail, which have had decades of investment and collaborative development, comparatively Labrador is in its infancy. As such, for tourism to be key economic driver of growth, building regional pride, and creating employment, it requires significant infrastructure investments such as roads and communications, but also requires building the human resource capacity and the depth, diversity and quality of authentic experiences that attract high- yield residents and non-resident travelers to experience “The Big Land.” Strategic directions #4 was product development aimed at ensuring NL delivers memorable, travel experiences to attract visitors from around the world. -

Caribou has been an essential species for Inuit for millennia, providing food, clothing, significant cultural practices, and knowledge-sharing. Current declines in many caribou populations—often coupled with hunting moratoriums—have significant impacts on Inuit food, culture, livelihoods, and well-being. Following an Inuit-led approach, this study characterized Inuit-caribou relationships; explored Inuit perspectives on how caribou have been managed; and identified opportunities for sustaining the Mealy Mountain Caribou. -
