MONTREAL: Sustainable Tourism Strategy Development

In May 2022, Tourisme Montréal launched the “Harmonious Destination” initiative.

Our Work

Challenge

Montreal did not have a sustainable tourism strategy, in-depth knowledge of regenerative tourism or a united vision for the future of the industry

Solution

The GDS-Movement worked with Montreal Tourism to help develop and implement the new regenerative tourism strategy and action plan. Deliverables include:

  • Training and development of management team at the DMO
  • Design and facilitation of a private / public taskforce
  • Interviews with key industry and government leaders, stakeholder surveys and interviews,
  • Background research and benchmarking against other leading sustainable destinations using the GDS-Index
  • Coaching of project team
  • Co-creation of final destinationregeneration strategy.

Results

  • The new strategy has positioned Montreal as the GDS-Index leader in North American, and recognized thought leader.
