ED Message
I am proud to serve as the Executive Director of this vibrant and resourceful association. It is a pleasure for me to work with dedicated professional staff, committed directors, and a diverse group of members, stakeholders and partners, so that together we can provide effective and innovative programs and services to the tourism industry of New Brunswick.
People close to me say I breathe and sweat tourism. I have been actively involved in the tourism industry for many years. Notably, I sit on a number of committees and work groups: The Atlantic Canada Tourism Caucus, The Provincial and Territorial Tourism Industry Associations, The Gros Morne Institute of Sustainable Tourism and the Advising committee for protected regions in NB. I'm also a representative for the tourism sector on Le Réseau de développement économique et d'employabilité du Nouveau-Brunswick (RDÉE NB). This wide spread participation allows me to portray my conviction for the industry through many different facets.
TIANB focuses on two spheres of activities. The first is to advocate and promote the importance of tourism in the New Brunswick economy ensuring the interests of the operators are adequately represented in order to ensure sustainable and viable growth.
As the voice of tourism in the province of New Brunswick, we play a critical role in enabling the New Brunswick tourism industry to speak with a single voice on the most pressing issues affecting the industry. In order to effectively fulfill this role, TIANB must be constantly in direct communication with its members and the industry at large. We are always open to your comments, ideas, insights or concerns!
The second sphere of activities for TIANB is to provide quality relevant training programs and services to the industry and its personnel. Whether your needs are in training? online or in a classroom, professional recognition or certification, mystery shop, support with your website or HR tools, TIANB will work with you to find the resources you need to attract, retain and develop a strong, capable, customer-focused workforce that delivers the very best!
Please feel free to contact me at 1.800.668.5313 or email me should you have questions, concerns or insights to share! Thank you!
Touristically yours,
Réal Robichaud
Executive Director, TIANB
