TESTIMONIAL:

The course (Culinary Tourism and the Arts) that was put on by the Bonavista Institute not only re-ignited our interest in tourism in Newfoundland and Labrador but allowed us to synthesize what we wanted to accomplish within the tourism industry, what our niche was and how to incorporate the cultural component. For that we have you to thank for visiting us and getting us to register and go – for that we can be forever thankful.
