We're Having a Contest!

We're having a contest, and we want your community to enter and win! It's easy. Just make sure your community has the most participants in attendance at one or more Create Curiosity Sell Saskatchewan workshops from May 1-31. The community with the highest number of participants in attendance at all workshops combined is eligible to win.

The objective of the Create Curiosity Sell Saskatchewan workshop is to generate an appreciation of all that your local area has to offer. Anyone in your community can participate - business owners, supervisors, managers, frontline staff, and even the young woman who you see working at the library every weekend.

As a tourism sector professional, you understand the importance of being an ambassador for your business and community. You know how important it is to be proud of where you work and live. Great customer service means better sales and higher profit. But there's only so much you can do.

That's why it's so important for the members of your community to be just as proud of your corner of Saskatchewan as you are.

Let's say Susan and her husband, Mark, are driving through your town on a hot day in July. The windows are down and their three young kids are getting restless in the back. Susan and Mark see the young librarian walking down the street and decide to pull over and ask her if there's a nearby park where they can have a picnic.

In this scenario, there's a number of things that could happen. The young woman may shrug lazily, mumbling that she doesn't know (or worse doesn't care). She may smile and direct the couple to a nearby location. Or better yet, suggest that if Susan and Mark's family really want to experience the local culture, they should stay overnight at a quaint little Bed & Breakfast just a few minutes out of town and attend the strawberry festival the next day.

The young woman in this story is more than just a resident of your community, she's an ambassador. After taking the Create Curiosity Sell Saskatchewan workshop, she appreciates the unique qualities of her small-town community and the tourist attractions it has to offer. She also has a better appreciation of the economic benefits tourism brings to the entire community.

If you want to ensure that everyone in your community, not just your staff, is on board when it comes to attracting visitors to your corner of Saskatchewan consider registering for a Create Curiosity Sell Saskatchewan workshop. With only three weeks left in the contest, now is the time to get your community involved!
