Objective:
- Documenting and exporting several best practices in sustainable and responsible tourism within the demonstration area, the Uapishka Biodiversity Reserve.
MUBR has completed one of its major projects of recent years: the Showcase for Responsible and Sustainable Tourism in a Northern Context.
A considerable number of outreach activities were carried out in the province, and it was particularly inspiring to see the growing interest of various sectors in the theme of sustainable and responsible tourism. Among the conclusions, we recognize the fundamental value of collaboration and the importance of:
- Implementing measures to monitor ecological and social impacts in order to continuously adapt the actions to be taken and the tourism offers;
- Developing plans in advance, in close collaboration with stakeholders, to ensure the sustainability of tourism activities;
- Combining the promotion of natural and Indigenous heritage in order to raise public awareness.

Impact for Manicouagan:
This project positions Manicouagan as a model of innovation in sustainable tourism in northern communities. By equipping local stakeholders and promoting collaboration between communities, researchers, and businesses, the initiative has made it possible to integrate sustainability principles into the planning and management of tourism activities in a concrete way. It contributes to preserve ecosystems, promote Indigenous knowledge, and strength the region’s capacity to welcome visitors in a responsible and respectful manner.
The project has been possible thanks to the Ministère du Tourisme du Québec.
