Frontiers North Presented with Award of Excellence by Nunavut Tourism

The Award of Excellence is rewarded to an operator that invests in tourism within Nunavut and incorporates sustainable development practices in their operation through market and export-ready business initiatives, and who invests and establishes concrete business relationships within the territory in order to provide successful products within the region.

“For 20 years Frontiers North has worked hard to be recognized as the top adventure travel provider in Canada’s North,” said John Gunter, General Manager for Frontiers North Adventures. “We are extremely proud to be honoured by Nunavut Tourism with this award.”

Frontiers North Adventures currently offers two Authentic Arctic Adventures to Nunavut: walrus and bowhead whale photography tours in Igloolik and lodge-based wilderness tours at Elu Inlet Lodge.

Nunavut Tourism is a not-for-profit membership association dedicated to tourism development by providing specialized knowledge and expertise in the areas of marketing, research, product development, training, and visitor services. They work in partnership with governments, Inuit associations, communities and tourism operators which offer a means of sustainable economic growth, culture preservation and social benefits for the people of Nunavut.

Frontiers North Adventures was honoured in 2005 with Travel Manitoba’s Sustainable Tourism Award, in recognition of its excellence in the delivery of a product or service that effectively demonstrates sustainable tourism practices, and in 2004 with Travel Manitoba’s Ecotourism Award which is bestowed upon an organization who has developed a tourism product that best demonstrates a non-consumptive connection to nature.
