The Mackenzie Region has a Destination Marketing Board. We are looking forward to beginning work to promote tourism for our region.
Believe it or not, the Mackenzie Region has some truly remarkable tourism attractions. And it has a built-in market just waiting to discover these hidden treasures.
Every summer roughly 12,500 tourists travel up Highway 35 on their way to Yellowknife. If each of those summer driving tourists spent just two days exploring the Mackenzie Region, we could all share in about $5.5 million in extra revenues. And when you think about the other seasons and other travellers, that amount could double. More regional revenue means more businesses, which means more jobs. It also means economic diversity which can help us weather an economic storm.
But we’re just scratching the surface here. There’s much more that needs to be done first, and it needs to be done soon. And that’s where you come in. We need your help. We need your opinion, your expertise, your knowledge, your involvement.
Please explore this website and learn about the tourism potential of the Mackenzie Region. Provide us with your feedback on how you envision the region.

Ultimately, it’s all about you and your tourism industry. A stronger tourism industry means a better life for you and your family.
