Tourism Trailblazers in Camrose

Camrose continues to shine as a vibrant destination, thanks to the passion and innovation of its tourism trailblazers. Among the standout success stories are Horizon Charters and the renowned boutique shopping cluster located downtown Camrose, both of which are redefining the visitor experience in our region.

Horizon Charters recently started operating tours as a charter service while thinking outside the box to add value to their customers. They partner with businesses in the Camrose region to create unique experiences for every season like their greenhouse shopping tour. There are a surprising number of unique sights to see in the Camrose Region that yearned for someone to put them all together into a cohesive experience – and that’s exactly what Horizon Charters aims to do!

Meanwhile, the boutique shopping cluster in downtown Camrose has blossomed into a must-visit destination for locals and tourists alike. With its curated mix of fashion, home décor, great places to eat, and warm hospitality, this retail hub offers a charming and personalized shopping experience that is unlike any other. While some might think that another boutique retail store would be redundant, savvy entrepreneurs see the strength in adding to the established cluster. Become a boutique retail operator in Camrose.

As we celebrate these successes, we also look ahead to exciting opportunities that could further elevate Camrose’s tourism landscape:

• Summer Rental Business: With increasing demand for iconic Mirror Lake moments, seasonal experiences like bike rentals, paddleboards, kayaks, or even picnic kits could thrive by catering to both spontaneous day-trippers and planned family outings. Become a summer rental operator and contribute to Camrose’s tourism experiences!

• Family Sports Centre: A major gap in Camrose is activities for middle aged kids and adults to do. That’s why a multi-use facility focused on family-friendly recreation is at the top of our list for becoming a (profitable) cornerstone for year-round tourism. It would include competitive activities that allow you to compete against yourself, your family, or your group. Think indoor courts, climbing walls, an obstacle course, a boxing game, slack lines, a slapshot hockey game, an interactive downhill ski simulator, a battle cage and more! Don't just take our word for it, see the numbers here and build the family sports centre of our (community's) dreams.

Camrose is full of potential, and with visionary operators leading the way, the future of tourism here looks brighter than ever. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a visitor, or a local champion, there's never been a better time to be a tourism trailblazer.
