LUNCH & LEARN: Cultivating Agritourism in Your Community Webinar
2026-11-19 11:30 - 12:30 (America/Winnipeg)
Tourism opportunities exist in communities of all sizes—even those that may not see themselves as tourism destinations. Join Travel Manitoba for a brief overview of the value of tourism before exploring how agritourism experiences, like farm stays, u-picks or produce stands, land or animal-based workshops, farm to table culinary experiences, and other on-farm activities, are attracting visitors and creating new opportunities for local economic development. Learn how Travel Manitoba’s Field to Fork Agritourism Corridor Strategy is building momentum for agritourism across the province and how municipalities can help cultivate the visitor economy in their communities.

Presenters:Jackie Tenuta, VP Tourism Growth and Research, Travel ManitobaSamantha Dawson, Specialist Tourism Growth, Travel Manitoba
