Economic Development

Vision:   Provide visitors with a transformational Mi’gmaq experience by sharing our knowledge, culture and history.

Mission:   Enhancing Listuguj’s capacity to provide new tourism opportunities that highlight Mi’gmaq culture and supports our local economy.

Listuguj is located in an important tourism location. Travelers often pass through the community as they are traveling to the Gaspésie, the Maritimes or the United States. You can even say that Listuguj is the gateway to Mi’gma’gi, “the land of the Mi’gmaq”.

Tourism development was identified as a major priority for economic development by community members. They see benefits in developing cultural tourism and eco-tourism by creating opportunities for visitors to experience our culture and lands in a guided way. Listuguj wants to ensure that the tourism projects launched are sustainable and support Listuguj economically, socially and culturally.  

In addition to visiting the superb natural sceneries of the Appalachian Mountains, the Restigouche River and the Bay of Chaleur, tourists can soon expect to enter “Mi’gma’gi” as they make a stopover in Listuguj to learn more about the rich history and culture of the Mi’gmaq people.
