  4. Outcomes: • An estimated 80% of all tourists visiting from out of province will want to visit • Each site will act as a portal to market other tourist offerings in the zone, including other Great Whale Tour sites and existing tourist businesses. • REDB has developed a “Whales and Trails” visitor’s guide and Regional Attractions Binder and set up a Regional Tourism Committee to market the Great Whale Coast.

  5. Outcomes (continued): • Two pavilions constructed so far: • Sperm whale pavilion in Triton and Humpback whale pavilion in King’s Point. • Five other communities slated to become part of the Great Whale Tour: La Scie (minke whale), Middle Arm (blue/fin whale), Little Bay Islands (killer whale), Springdale (narwhal whale) and Westport (sowerby beaked whale)
