The selected vendor will conduct a comprehensive review and research project focused on tourism within the agency. Responsibilities include preparing a detailed report that addresses key themes such as a survey of tourism development, accommodation types, opportunities, risks, and other relevant considerations as identified by the agency. The research will analyze emerging trends, opportunities, and risks associated with tourism development across the organization, drawing upon both provincial and municipal strategies to support the growth of the agency's tourism sector.

The project aims to explore opportunities for expanding the visitor economy and to provide insights into the primary drivers of the local tourism industry. Emphasis will be placed on developing strategic recommendations and directions for tourism, with a particular focus on the western portion of the agency. Vendors are expected to investigate potential areas for growth, and submit a comprehensive final report detailing their findings and recommendations.
