INTRODUCTION
The Northern Manitoba Tourism Strategy was launched in 2017 to
guide and support the growth of the tourism industry in Manitoba's
North. As indicated in the 2020 Progress Report, considerable
progress was made in pursuit of the strategy's goal to increase
tourism expenditures in northern Manitoba from $116 million
annually in 2017 to $151 million in March 2022. However, the
impacts to tourism resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak and
related public health measures were particularly devastating
for Churchill and northern fly-in hunting and fishing lodges
who rely on U.S. and international visitors. At the height of the
pandemic, Travel Manitoba communicated regularly with industry
to understand their challenges while spending considerable
time and effort advocating for relief for the sector. Despite the
numerous challenges, progress continued on the Northern
Manitoba Tourism Strategy.
