Gateway Sites

  1. The first gateway: http://www.canadatourism.com/ is the Canadian Tourism homepage. It leads to the CTX Business Centre or to the Partner link which has a section on successful winter tourism stories.
  2. The second gateway site: http://www.cotr.bc.ca/ connects to the Rocky Mountain Institute for Tourism, Leisure & Recreation. This site connects to the libraries of many institutions across BC.
  3. The final gateway site: http://www.icimod.org.sg/ connects to the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development. It leads to links related to mountain development, which can be relevant to winter tourism.

Other Links

  1. To get information about sustainable development in the mountain regions across the globe, the Mountain Forum web site - http://www.mtnforum.org/ - is very useful. It also gives access to links about recreation, community, development, environment, on-line libraries, research and other mountain related topics that can be associated with winter tourism.
  2. This web site: http://www.saminfo.com/ is the Ski Area Management (SAM) magazine home site. It allows users to find articles in the SAM archives and also gives access to the SAM research centre. It is a valuable web site for researchers interested in the ski industry.
