Good News Story...
The Tourism Industry Association of Canada has announced the finalists for the TIAC National Tourism Awards for Tourism Excellence.
Coastal Connections has been named a finalist under the:
Parks Canada Sustainable Tourism Award category
The TIAC has described the finalist this way -
Coastal Connections Limited of Eastern Newfoundland offers high-quality marine “learning adventures” and workshops that enable clients to better understand coastal ecosystems while supporting, fostering and encouraging more caring relationships with the natural world. The company strives to embody the principles of sustainable tourism in every aspect of its operations. For example, it allows scientists to use its facilities at reduced rates, collects scientific data for donation to interested parties, and runs an interpretive program for environmental science students to promote and increase “ocean literacy”. Coastal Connections hires residents of Random Island, purchases supplies in the immediate area when possible, serves on the Petley Improvement Committee, and is helping rebuild the Petley Marina. Staff also attend conferences and workshops to increase their knowledge and skills in sustainable tourism.
Congratulations from Sue's Blog
The winners will be announced October 23-06 in Jasper Alberta
