The Tourism Cafe is a boutique tourism training company. We specialize in the design, development and delivery of industry programs and services that advance people’s skills and knowledge in the areas of experiential travel and tourism product and market development.

We are about community; creating a place where people can come to:

CONNECT. ENGAGE. INSPIRE. LEARN. CELEBRATE.

We know there are terrific degrees, diplomas and certifications within our colleges and universities and major training agencies, but we also know there is an ongoing learning need for 'bite-sized' learning at specific times through a person's career and the evolution of their business.

That's where The Tourism Cafe steps in to help. 

From rural and remote communities to our urban centres, from tourism professionals to volunteers and students, our programs and services provide targeted short-term learning and business support to ensure organizations evolve with the demands of the travel market, are customer-driven, and remain competitive.

The majority of businesses in the tourism industry are small and medium businesses (of less than 100 employees), and there is also an emerging market of micro-businesses with less than 10 staff. The Tourism Cafe's programs and services are designed to support individual owners, operators, managers, supervisors, as well as destination marketing organizations and government agencies with a tourism mandate and a learning need.

Why a Tourism Product and Market Development Training Community?

For people whose mandate or job responsibility is to develop tourism that responds to markets, package travel, and support community tourism development, there has been no central place to go - until now!
