Additional good news about the resiliency of the Tourism Sector:

Pictured below are images from Yarmouth where construction is well underway on the first Tru by Hilton development in the region as a partnership between Crescita Hotels & Resorts Limited Partnership and Acadia First Nation Yarmouth Reserve. The 4-story hotel will feature 82 rooms, 1,000 square feet of meeting space, a fitness centre, and indoor pool. The property is slated for a Fall 2020 opening.

“Not only will this hotel create income for our First Nation and employment for our Band members, it will also contribute to the general economy of the County of Yarmouth and the province of Nova Scotia,” the announcement reads. “It will create employment and training opportunities. It will foster tourism for the area and bring in guests from all over the world into our community to experience our Mi’Kmaq culture,” said Chief Deborah Robinson.
