Aboriginal Eco-Resort Spa Development
We are working with a First
Nation in Ontario, Canada that has undertaken a
feasibility study and preliminary work for the
development of an eco-resort spa with an Aboriginal
theme. The First Nation has the unique opportunity to
develop this facility within the boundaries of a
pristine and protected area of Northwestern
Ontario. Our Market Research has confirmed that our
location is well positioned to capitalize on the strong
demand for eco-tourism and spa vacations that continues
to grow at a rate of 8 to 10 percent each year. The
tragic events of September 11 have only enhanced our
need to escape to tranquility in our journey to find
harmony and peace in this world. ... click here

Our high quality
destination resort will integrate elements of an
eco-adventure tourism operation with spa facilities and
service. Our visitors will explore the wildlife and
wilderness of our location, and participate in a number
of unique activities, then in the evening return to a
pampered spa treatment to complete the day’s
adventures. The architecture and programming of the
facility will be interwoven with our Aboriginal culture,
traditions and spirituality, and would blend into the
pristine Lake Nipigon shoreline. We will share our
teachings of life, and our relationship with the land
and the Creator, as handed down to us by our Elders.
We have also
discovered that there are powerful and profitable
synergies that may come from combining the traditional
eco-tourism and spa vacation experience with the
culture, traditions, and spirituality of the Anishinabek
heritage. An Aboriginal-themed destination spa resort
would be unique within Canada and the united States. We
are working towards the development of partnerships
with the spa and hospitality industry that will assist
in the development and delivery of an experience of the
highest quality. Do you know of any groups that would
be interested in becoming involved with this type of
venture?
Visitors will
travel to the remote facility by air directly from
Thunder Bay, or by boat from one of the few small
communities on Lake Nipigon.
