Stories of the Fur Trade
An Untapped Marketing Opportunity
(Presented jointly by Travel Manitoba and Parks Canada)
It's a well known fact that Manitoba has a rich heritage associated with the Fur Trade era, but how can that translate into new travel experiences for visitors to Manitoba? And, equally important, how can you as a tourism experience provider capitalize on the opportunity? To explore the opportunity, please plan to join other interested experience suppliers on Tuesday, September 30, 2008, 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM in one of the most authentic Fur Trade era locations around - Lower Fort Garry National Historic Site. The price to participate is only $25.00 (including continental breakfast and a networking lunch). The deadline to register is Monday, September 22, 2008. For more information please see the documents below.
If you would like to speak to someone about this event, please contact either Mark Clarke (204-927-7818) or Wayne Copet (204-927-7819).
