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.
