The Working Group on Economic Issues (WGEI) on Tourism, a team of employees from RDÉE Canada and the Network’s twelve member organizations, is positioning itself as a leader in Francophone tourism development.
In Canada, Francophone tourism is a major lever for economic development and employability. This sector represents a significant portion of our economy and our jobs.
French-Language Services Classification, a trademark that belongs to the Network, provides a useful tool to the Canadian tourism industry. It allows visitors from Canada and abroad to see at a glance the types of services offered in French. This classification is also a structuring tool for our tourism businesses. It also provides added value for those who apply it, giving them an edge over the competition.
ACHIEVEMENTS
Integration of the French-Language Services Classification by Canadian Tourism Product Distributors
Launch of the Heritage, Cultural and Tourism Corridor: a Pillar for Tourism in Canada
Supported by Canadian Heritage, this project, which originated at the Ministerial Conference on the Canadian Francophonie in 2015, was created as a legacy for the Canadian Francophonie as part of the 150th anniversary of Confederation.
The Corridor brings together Francophone and Francophile entrepreneurs and all Canadian provinces and territories (Quebec is a partner) around a common goal: to contribute to the development of Canadian tourism in the country’s two languages. It definitely provides added value for tourism in Canada. Web presence.
