Nov 5, 2022 | 10:59 AM

The Central Alberta Tourism Alliance Launches Public Engagement to Seek Input Toward a New Agritourism Development Strategy!

The Central Alberta Tourism Alliance wants to hear from agritourism operators, residents, businesses, and other stakeholders in Central Alberta on what agritourism could look like in the future and how we can get there. We are seeking input on a future vision for agritourism in Central Alberta and insight into opportunities, challenges, and growth areas. The input we collect will inform a strategy that will provide guidance to the Central Alberta Tourism Alliance and industry stakeholders in growing agritourism in the region.

Why is this project important?

As we emerge from the global pandemic, this is a critical time for agritourism in Central Alberta. We want to work with you to ensure agritourism development happens in a way that supports businesses, stakeholders, and residents in your community. We need your help to ensure we chart a path forward that benefits the entire region.

What is included in the study area?

The study area includes the City of Red Deer, Town of Blackfalds, Town of Sylvan Lake, Town of Innisfail, Town of Rocky Mountain House, Red Deer County, Clearwater County, City of Lacombe, Town of Olds, Lacombe County, and Mountain View County.
