Abstract

Beginning in the early 2000s, the Carcross/Tagish Management Corporation (CTMC) instituted a business plan to revitalize the fledgling tourist industry of rural Carcross, Yukon. Serving as the economic development branch of the self-governing Carcross/Tagish First Nation (CTFN), the CTMC capitalized on Carcross’ spectacular natural landscape and deep-seated cultural traditions in order to set up a thriving adventure tourism industry in one of the Yukon’s most remote towns.
