Wilderness Newfoundland Adventures Case Study
Introduction My Group case is about Stan Cook’s Wilderness Newfoundland Adventures. So for my personal paper I have decided to research reasons as to why people should chose to come visit Newfoundland and Labrador, and partake in what the wonderful Wilderness Newfoundland Adventures has to offer instead of travelling elsewhere for a similar adventure. I will define the term ecotourism, and list some reasons as to why it is a growing activity in the travel industry. I will describe what products Wilderness Newfoundland Adventure has to offer, I will conduct a competitive analysis, consisting of direct and in direct competition. I will also highlight what makes tourism in Newfoundland completely different from the rest of the world and …show more content…
Real and genuine, warm and welcoming, fun-loving and funny to the core, the people here are also known for their natural creativity, unique language, and knack for storytelling. Coming to Newfoundland from any other part of the world would be such an eye opener. Newfoundlanders have managed to preserve a diverse distinct culture. (http://www.newfoundlandlabrador.com/AboutThisPlace/PeopleCulture)

Weather & Climate Newfoundland and Labrador has a relatively short summer. Therefore, Newfoundland Wilderness Adventures has a short season to generate revenue. Wilderness Newfoundland Adventures season usually spreads from late June to mid September. Kayaking in May and early June can be stunning, but often to cold. Late September is a great time to paddle but the tourist trade usually drops off about that time. (Cori-Jane & H.F Mackenzie, Pearson, 2012)

When it comes to the weather in Newfoundland and Labrador it ranges from mildly surprising to downright unpredictable. For all the things a forecast can bring on any given day, there are a few things people probably won't miss, like smog. In fact, one of the first things people notice is the clean, fresh sea air. Surrounded by 29,000 kilometres of coastline, there's certainly no shortage of open space. Thanks to the temperate marine climate, you do not have

    A Summary Essay of Newfoundlandese-If You Please

    Diane Mooney captures the diverse language of the Newfoundlanders in her essay “Newfoundlanse, If You Please”. She explains how the language has evolved and the different way of speaking in all the communities of Newfoundland. The Southern part of the Island is mostly predominant by the Catholic-Irish and they have a unique “dialect”. On the other side of the Island, live the Anglicans-Irish and their speed of speaking makes even harder to understand. In Central area of Newfoundland the dialect can be quite mixed and confused. It is an area where she finds settlers coming from all other parts of the province to make up one community during winter. Newfoundlanders from the West Coast of the Island have a “slight twang in their speech” and this may be due to the influence of French. There are not too many people living in the Northern part and the ones who live closer to Quebec, adapt some of the French dialect. Any visitor who comes to Newfoundland can capture the diverse language of the people and different dialect being used in each community.…

    The Artic Cordillera goes along Nunavut and Labrador. The Artic Cordillera is made up of soaring mountain peaks and abandoned valleys. The mountains are fairly high and are a major part of the mountains found in Canada. The mountains in the artic cordillera are the highest mountains in Canada. The Precambrian rock also formerly known as the Canadian Shield. The northern part of Canada which the artic cordillera is in is covered with ice caps and glaciers. As it is the very northern part of Canada everyone should expect freezing temperatures when coming to the artic cordillera. To get in to detail about how the weather and climate look like the SUMMER yes SUMMER temperatures range from -2 degrees in the mountains to 6 degrees in Labrador. The winter temperatures bring it down to as low as -35 degrees. The most common precipitation is snow as well as occasional rain that creates the ice when both are mixed. The Type of landforms that are located in my Eco zone are the Canadian Shield, Hudson Bay Lowlands, and Innutian Mountains. Not a lot can grow in the artic cordillera because of the harsh weather conditions. Some plant can still sustain like the arctic black spruce, arctic willow, cotton grass, kobresia, moss species, wood rush, wire rush, purple saxifrage, Dryas species, sedges, Diapensia, arctic poppy, mountain avens, mountain sorrel, river beauty, moss campion, bilberry, and arctic white heather.

    Moving: North vs. South

    Let’s stay up North for a while and discover all it may have to offer. The snowy climate may be ideal for some people, but it’s not for me. You have to wear a layer of long johns and jeans, sweater, coat, hat and gloves to go brave the cold. It’s a very long winter season which is cold, wet and inconvenient to travel around in. There can be days and weeks on end where you may not get a glimpse of the sun at all. People use tanning beds to get a tan. Snow storms can be common in this area. The roads can be slippery and sometimes there can be travel bans because of the danger of road conditions. You are constantly hearing snow plows going by salting the roads. When the salt melts the snow, it gets very slushy and the salt gets on your vehicles and causes them to rust. If you enjoy the cold weather, you may enjoy some of the many activities that the Northern areas have to offer. There are plenty of ski resorts that offer everything from skiing to snowboarding to tubing. Most of these lodges also offer a warm lodge to get hot chocolate or a bite to eat, and a lounge for those who may like to have a cocktail. You may prefer to go sledding or build a snow man. Some people even go winter camping and hike with snowshoes. I personally enjoy riding snowmobiles with my family and friends. There’s nothing quite like riding the trails after they have been groomed.…

    Newfoundland Stereotypes

    Newfoundland stereotypes are plentiful. Newfoundlanders are stereotyped as being slow witted and talking in an accent. A stereotype is defined as a standardized mental picture that is held in common by members of a group and that represents an oversimplified opinion, prejudiced attitude, or uncritical judgment. People often think that Newfoundlanders are slow witted just because of common "Newfie" jokes that they hear. They judge Newfoundlanders, in most cases, without even meeting a Newfoundlander in real life. As Winston Churchill put it "A lie gets half way around the world before the truth has a chance to put its pants on" (Winston Churchill, http://historyq.freeservers.com/quote.htm). This has a great significance because it shows that a lie can be well known while the truth is known to few people and hard to convince that the truth is in actuality the truth. It also shows that a simple "Newfie" joke can do more harm than people realize just because it spreads throughout the world. Some common misconceptions about Newfoundlanders are that they are slow witted. How can people say that a whole province is slow witted? Another misconception about Newfoundlanders is that they talk in a slang and use made-up words. Not all Newfoundlanders talk in slang or use made up words. For example, Americans are stereotyped as knowing nothing about Canada, by a show called Rick Mercer Talking To Americans, but how many people asked every American about Canada. Chances are that there are many…

    Canadian Identity

    Firstly, Canadian citizens are among the hardiest people on earth when it comes to resisting Mother Nature. Canada is battered each year with ice storms, hurricanes’ and windstorms, yet we Canadians grit our teeth and fight through it. This treacherous weather helps bring Canada together, and unite us when things are at their worst. For example, during the 2013-2014 ice storms many parts of Ontario where left without power for days, yet out of this horrible tragedy, Canadians banded together and helped each other out, lending each other generators and supplies to help get through this hard time together as a nation. Canada is also ranked as the second coldest country on earth, with an average annual temperature of -3.6 degrees (Anand) with an annual temperature below freezing Canada is well suited for winter sports like skiing and snowmobiling. The most Northerly settlement on earth is Alert, Nunavut, Alert is a Canadian Military and research base on the Northern Tip of Ellesmere Island, the lowest recorded temperature in Alert was -64 degrees Celsius, that’s the same temperature as the surface of Mars!(CFS Alert).
