Case Study 1
Product Clubs
- • The Canadian Tourism Commission’s
Product Club Program was created in 1996 to help small
businesses and organizations offer tourists new experiences.
- • Now 40 clubs exist across Canada,
including the Ontario East Adventure Product Club,
Aboriginal Waterways in Saskatchewan, and the Northern
2 Knowledge Product Club in the Yukon.
- • The Atlantic Lighthouse Product
Club is one of the most successful heritage-related
clubs. It was created to provide alternative uses
for lighthouses - as restaurants, bed & breakfasts,
shops, and museums, for example.
- • It works closely with the Atlantic
Lighthouse Council to protect, maintain and promote
lighthouse properties.
- • Another contact: Tourist Association
of Nova Scotia’s South Shore.
