Analysis of tourism attractions and facilities in the Baie-des-Chaleurs

As part of the Baie-des-Chaleurs tourism development approach, a survey was designed to assess the tourism potential of the area. The objective is to create a benchmark for the state of tourism during a base year (2019) making it possible to evaluate progress. This survey concerns you if:

  • you offer an accommodation service (hotel, motel, B&B, inn, chalet, campsite);
  • you offer a restaurant / agritourism service;
  • you offer one or more entertainment activities (tourist attraction, leisure activity);
  • you offer the sale of local products and / or items likely to contribute to enhanced visitor experience (artisanal products, local produce, sporting goods, etc.).
