Familiarization (FAM) Tours (For Suppliers)

Every year Tourism Yukon, with the support of industry partners, hosts international buyers (i.e. Canada specialist agents and reservation staff, tour wholesalers and operators) in order to showcase the Yukon as a year-round destination and all it has to offer their potential clients. These tours are generally pre-qualified and in cooperation with our CTC and air carrier partners. They may also take place on an ad hoc basis, subject to consideration and approval based on strategic marketing direction and other factors.

Any market- and export-ready suppliers interested in potential familiarization tours should be prepared to offer their product on a complimentary or special discounted “fam” tour rate. Please note that familiarization tours are a cost-effective means to showcase the Yukon and the development of itineraries is also based on product/market match, timing and the interest of the clients.
