We are excited to share that the Gros Morne Institute for Sustainable Tourism is now accepting applications for the Fall 2023 LIFT Tourism Experience Development Program! The below link has some information about this innovative blended learning program which combines online and in-person learning and is designed with peer-to-peer support and coaching. The program is ideal for tourism operators or organizations who have an idea for a visitor experience – either a new or expanded offering – that they would like to have in-market by Summer 2024.
