The Tourism Development Guide is intended to help those interested in starting or expanding a land-based tourism development. Such developments might involve either Crown lands of the provincial or federal government or land within the jurisdiction of a municipality or a First Nation. Proponents of these developments should expect to seek approvals through several levels of government. They should also expect to integrate their own development plans with provincial legislation, regional and sub-regional plans, and municipal plans, as well as First Nation uses. This document presents the steps to be taken, the time frames to be expected for reviews, and the places to go for development assistance.
