The Atlantic ÉCONOMUSÉE Network

The Atlantic ÉCONOMUSÉE Network (AEN) has pioneered an innovative approach to experiential tourism where working artisans exhibit the history and production of traditional crafts and trades.

Multiple projects over 5 years, 12 months duration

Over 5 years RMA Tourism has provided creative and management skills in the development of 12 ÉCONOMUSÉE in Atlantic Canada. Each project involves the development of a professional exhibit, merged into the everyday workshop and retail space of an artisanal business. The process requires spatial and thematic design and innovative management approaches. Two of Atlantic Canada's ÉCONOMUSÉE have won national awards for innovation.
