SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL<br />
IN THE YUKON<br />
If you’re reading this, then you already know<br />
that the Yukon is one of the world’s most compelling<br />
destinations. Yukoners really want to keep it that<br />
way, so we encourage sustainable tourism. That<br />
means conserving and protecting our resources<br />
and respecting local cultures and traditions.<br />
We believe that visitors to the Yukon share our<br />
passion for pristine wilderness, unique heritage<br />
sites and culture. Here are some ways you can<br />
support sustainable tourism while visiting:<br />
• Make an effort to reduce your waste.<br />
• Use recycling facilities in Whitehorse and other<br />
Yukon communities.<br />
• Practise Leave No Trace wilderness travel.<br />
• Leave historic objects and remains in place<br />
for others to enjoy.<br />
• Support Yukon businesses and buy locally<br />
produced products. The work of Yukon artisans<br />
makes beautiful souvenirs.<br />
• Join cultural and historic tours to find out more<br />
about the places you visit.<br />
For an exceptional experience, hire a local guide – YG, C. Archbould<br />
• Donate to local social causes.<br />
• Support businesses that are members of the<br />
Wilderness Tourism Association of the Yukon<br />
(WTAY). WTAY has a code of conduct, promotes<br />
best environmental practices and supports<br />
conservation.<br />
• Don’t hesitate to ask your guide for assurance of<br />
quality and legitimacy by checking their Wilderness<br />
Tourism Licence.<br />
