Rethinking Experience Development: From Ideation to Export-Ready

Date and Time: October 8, 2025, 9:00 am - 10:30 am PDT / 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm EDT Location: Online

As rural, remote, northern, and Indigenous communities reimagine tourism, many are exploring how to turn local knowledge, culture, and creativity into export-ready experiences. This planning stage is critical—and full of questions:

  • What makes an idea viable and compelling?
  • How do you design with both visitors and community in mind?
  • What does “export-ready” really mean, and how do you get there?
  • Who can help bring an idea to life?

Led by Darcie Guarderas (Tansi Tourism Solutions), this webinar will explore how to move from ideation to export readiness through:

  1. A keynote with practical steps, common pitfalls, and foundational insights
  2. A panel discussion with two Indigenous Experience Hosts in Canada—Florence Hamilton (Dene Routes, Manitoba) and Tasha Robitaille (La Belle Cabane, New Brunswick) who will share how their ideas evolved into thriving, market-ready offers
  3. Interactive Q&A

Whether you’re shaping your first concept or laying the groundwork for growth, this session offers tools and inspiration to help you get started with purpose.
