Why sell the Yukon?

Our visitor surveys consistently reveal high levels of satisfaction. Visitors often report that their Yukon experience far exceeds expectations.

Canadian destinations are famous for their kind and welcoming nature, especially to visitors. Northern hospitality is legendary and Yukon hospitality specifically is off the charts. People are down to earth, warm and friendly and will go out of their way to welcome and help visitors. Most Yukoners are passionate about where they live and happy to share their stories and favourite places in the Yukon with guests.

Our proximity other regions create a fantastic selling opportunity. Consider adding the Yukon to an Alaska itinerary or vice versa. Just a two-hour flight from Vancouver, Calgary or Edmonton, how about adding an aurora viewing in the Yukon to your client’s ski vacation in British Columbia or the Rockies? Dual aurora packages that include Whitehorse and Yellowknife, NWT? Or a midnight sun adventure to highlight a Canadian summer roadtrip? Connecting to Ontario? No problem! There are many options, and you’ll find Whitehorse is easier than you anticipate to use as a travel hub.
