We believe that Canada can be home to world class constellations of thriving destinations aligned with high value traveller demand and the aspirations of highly engaged communities.</p><p>Communities come in all shapes and sizes representing all that Canada is and has to offer. We acknowledge the importance of the land, which we each call home. We do this to reaffirm our commitment and responsibility in improving relationships between nations and to improving our own understanding of local Indigenous peoples and their cultures. From coast to coast to coast, we acknowledge the territory of the Inuit, Métis and First Nations people who have called this place home for generations beyond measure.</p><p>We hope that you find value on the information provided and that you join us on this journey.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> <div> <section class="text-chunk paragraph paragraph--type--text-chunk paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="one-column-background-image" style="background-image:url();"> </div> <div><h2>Featured</h2></div> </section> </div> <div><div class="paragraph paragraph--type--text-block-33-33-33 paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div><p><img src="/sites/dd/files/inline-images/symposium%20EN.JPG" data-entity-uuid="990156a8-021e-464f-bdde-7f334b244ad1" data-entity-type="file" alt="International Symposium" width="638" height="359" loading="lazy"></p><h4>International Symposium</h4><p><style type="text/css">&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;!--{C}%3C!%2D%2Dtd%20%7Bborder%3A%201px%20solid%20%23cccccc%3B%7Dbr%20%7Bmso-data-placement%3Asame-cell%3B%7D%2D%2D%3E--&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt; </style> This document shares the ideas that came out of the presentations and conversations at the symposium, along with emerging themes that concern us all as a sector. <br> </p><p><a class="btn" href="https://dd.destinationcanada.com/en/international-symposium-destination-stewardship-legacy">Read the Legacy Summary</a></p></div> <div><p><img src="/sites/dd/files/inline-images/RegenFramework_EN_0.jpeg" data-entity-uuid="8574113c-2e88-427c-92f2-a472e0fdf4a2" data-entity-type="file" alt="Regenerative Framework" width="638" height="356" loading="lazy"></p><h4>Regenerative Framework</h4><p><style type="text/css">&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;!--{C}%3C!%2D%2Dtd%20%7Bborder%3A%201px%20solid%20%23cccccc%3B%7Dbr%20%7Bmso-data-placement%3Asame-cell%3B%7D%2D%2D%3E--&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt; </style> What is a regenerative approach to tourism?
