Why a Tourism Café?

Over the past number of years, Nancy Arsenault, Arsenault Project Solutions, Todd Lucier, a geek who lives in the middle of the woods at their family-owned tourism biz, Northern Edge Algonquin / Tourism Keys and Celes Davar, experience broker, Earth Rhythms have collaborated to deliver transformative experiential tourism programs for the Gros Morne Institute for Sustainable Tourism and in a number of communities across Canada and in locations around the world.

These folks aren’t just talking heads. They actually work in the tourism industry and understand the challenge of providing meaningful, memorable experiences in the real world! Collectively, they bring a wide range of tourism experience, industry knowledge and training expertise to the table and have each delivered training to thousands of professionals in the tourism industry in Canada, and requests from around the world are starting to come in!

In an effort to reach as wide an audience as possible with their transformative ideas, the trio has started the Tourism Café as new project to stimulate and share conversations that matter in experiential tourism.

Here, we share our thoughts in:

  • blog posts
  • audio podcasts
  • video interviews
  • photo libraries

From time to time, we invite special guests to share their perspectives on tourism and we invite you to join in the conversation. Drop us a note, leave comments on our posts and invite yourself to the table. This is intended to be an open forum for conversations that matter. We hope you join us.

~ Nancy, Celes, Todd.

  • Hi Nancy, Todd, and Celes,

    I found you via the wonderful world of twitter. My name is Joseph Diaz and I'm the Co-founder of AFAR. We are a media company 100% dedicated to international (non U.S.), experiential travel. AFAR inspires travelers to immerse themselves in authentic experiences that create deep connections between the reader, place, and local culture. We are launching a print magazine in August that will bring a fresh perspective to travel and will compete with Conde Nast Traveler, Travel+Leisure, and Natl Geo Traveler.

    I wanted to introduce myself because I feel like we share a mindset and trend that is only accelerating. Equally important is that we are the platform from which your clients (tour operators) can reach their ideal customer. I have much to share with you about AFRA-our readers, editorial, web strategy and the AFAR Foundation. I'd love to send you a media kit to give you a more informed idea of AFAR. Contact me via www.afar.com; joe@afar.com or 917 210 1733. Thanks much.

    Joseph Diaz
