Manitoba and Saskatchewan will establish an agritourism corridor thanks to a federal investment of $250,000. I think we really have the opportunity to become a leader [d’agrotourisme] on this global failure, says Travel Manitoba communications director Louise Waldman.
The organization hopes to include many Manitoba businesses from various First Nations and rural municipalities such as Steinbach, Neepawa and Portage la Prairie.
« There are a lot of individual initiatives happening throughout Manitoba and also in Saskatchewan. This is the chance to expand them and form a strategy to move this industry forward. »
In the coming year, Travel Manitoba will develop a strategy, an implementation plan and an investment plan which will bring together tourism operators, communities and industry stakeholders under one banner
.
I think we will have a strong and formidable foundation for success
specifies Louise Waldman, who envisages a successful implementation of agrotourism in 5 to 10 years.
