Right now, the catchphrase for the recently formed Tourism Cochrane is “We invite you into our backyard. But only when the world has healed, and the time is right.”
Renée Vezeau Beaulieu, President and Chairperson of Tourism Cochrane notes that “Prior to COVID-19, tourism was one of the fastest growing industries in the world, and a leading economic driver in Canada. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Canada’s tourism economy is in crisis. While some Canadian sectors have experienced a small degree of recovery, Canada’s tourism economy has remained stagnant. Tourism was the first hit, the hardest hit, and will be the last to recover.”
