Our Work
We believe that the best way for us to do this is by developing or participating in projects that promote our dedication to ensuring the sustainable future of our land, wildlife, people and local businesses.
WTAY is always interested in new projects and welcomes any suggestions from our members, industry partners, and the public. If you have a particular idea that you believe coincides with our mandate, please do not hesitate to contact the office at 867-668-3369 or by emailing info@wtay.com.
STAFF HOUSING
WTAY is currently working with private sector to find solutions for Tourism Industry staff housing issues. Short term and shared accommodations was our top used and required capacity need. This is an area we are focused on with support from private sector rental companies. Please see our results of the Housing Subsidy Pilot project for more information. This project was supported and funded by CanNor.
Land USe PLANNING
Currently Yukon Government is engaging with the public and industry concerning the Lands Act and Land Use Planning. WTAY and TIAY will be coordinating an early Fall engagement session for the industry. Keep an eye out for this invitation. Please fill out the survey and reach out to Lands or WTAY with your thoughts.
Yukon WIld
Yukon Wild is a marketing program that is subsidized through Tourism Yukon and paid for by our membership operators. This program provide direct conversions to operator websites and businesses. Content and strategy are directly related and authentic to the operators that participate.
Tourism House (TAP)
The Tourism Association Partnership is an alliance of seven Yukon trism industry associations. They are meeting monthly and coordinating for efficiency and best practices. This group is currently working on a “Northern House” project initiative that would find shared revenue opportunities to support organizational sustainability as well as shared resources and supports. This project is funded by CanNor.
We respectfully acknowledge that the Wilderness Tourism Association of the Yukon and our members, through various initiatives, operate on the traditional territories of the Indigenous Peoples in the Yukon Territory.
