Canadian Ectotourism Services embraces innovative platforms to share your community’s story and tourism experiences through engaging audio, video, augmented reality, virtual reality, digital storytelling, e-commerce, and engagement solutions.
OUR AREAS OF INNOVATION:
digital storytelling
The medium may have evolved but the message is a part of the legacy. digital storytelling preserves and shares a community’s culture and stories through beautiful imagery, videos, audio recordings, and the written word. Share the spirit and identity of your people through a Community-Driven Site, an Interactive Tour, or Digital Storytelling. Visit Chesterfield Inlet Stories to see an example of CES’s digital storytelling.
authentic indigenous moments™ model
The Authentic Indigenous Moments™ (AIM™) model allows entrepreneurs to post their tourism activity to a website that connects them directly with potential guests, minimizing the need for their own website and assisting them with marketing and sales.
techtours™
TechTours™ is a dynamic storytelling platform that uses customized interactive maps and GPS-triggered points of interest activated on a guest’s smart device. Visitors can explore a destination at their own pace and in their own language.
ar/vr
CES utilizes Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality to bring your stories to life through immersive, interactive visitor engagement. These leading-edge technologies can transport your guests to new environments and enhance your cultural tourism programs. View the Three Sisters VR Experience Trailer - Chiefswood Park .
virtual marketplaces
Online marketplaces provide an opportunity for local artisans to expand their market reach and engage digitally with a broad range of potential customers. Virtual marketplaces also provide accessibility for artists to share cultural and traditional works of arts and crafts both domestically and internationally.
