Midi conférence : Tourisme et loisir. Des moteurs économiques et sociaux pour le Québec? (Lunch and Learn conference: Tourism and Leisure. Economic and Social Engines for Québec? / in French)
CDRQ
Tourism is an engine of development for Québec’s regions but also a strategy for revitalizing certain areas at risk of decline. In addition to attracting tourists, collective entrepreneurship can mobilize a community’s vital forces to develop an attractive, authentic offering that creates positive spin-offs for the community.
Join CDRQ for this Lunch and Learn conference to discover the importance of tourism in our economy, inspiring examples, and resources to help develop sustainable tourism.
For the past two years, Andrée Pelletier and Geneviève Turner have been working together to bridge the gap between collective entrepreneurship and sustainable tourism as part of PASTEL, the Plan d’action secteurs stratégiques tourisme et loisir. Their joint presentation will be based on the work of PASTEL and the dossier produced by Tourisme durable Québec.
