In the meantime, TIA Yukon is currently facilitating the Yukon Tourism Industry Analysis and Business Plan - to conclude an industry-led business plan, built by the Yukon tourism industry, partnered with government and reviewed by our nations tourism industry development leaders, this plan will guide the future work and priorities of the association to 2012.  Stay tuned as we'll be providing a forum through this website for the industry to be involved.
 
From last year's mandate, TIA Yukon continues to champion a few programs:
 
Yukon Occupancy Data Collection - in it's first 12 months still, the purpose of this program is to collect accommodation information re: room nights voluntarily from operators throughout the Yukon.  TIA Yukon's consultant, Rob Dunbar-Edge is leading the program, visiting all Yukon operators and communicating the program elements and processes.
 
Canada Select - for the Yukon, this program is now being administered and managed by TIA Yukon.  2006 was a renewal year for operators already in the program.  2007 will be an inspection year where our Canada Select Advisor will be visiting properties early in the season to inspect participating and new properties.  Canada Select is a nation-wide, consumer-driven, accommodations standards program enabling operators to promote themselves as a CS star rated program - from 1-5 stars, where the number of stars represents both amenities and cleanliness.
 
Tourism Awareness Week - June 4-10, 2007
For the third year in a row, TIA Yukon will lead in the promotion of a nationally celebrated week for Tourism Awareness.  The purpose of our involvement is to enhance Yukoners awarness levels and perceptions about how the industry impacts the territories economy, quality of life and opportunities in jobs and self-employment.  Stay tuned for Tourism Awareness Week.
