flag Alberta designates Nakiska, Castle, and Fortress as all-season resorts to boost tourism and create jobs.

flag Alberta has designated Nakiska, Castle, and Fortress as its first all-season resort areas to boost tourism and retain visitors who currently travel to British Columbia. flag The move aims to increase visitor spending to $25 billion by 2035, create 24,000 jobs, and generate $3.6 billion in GDP over the next decade. flag Development of year-round activities like hiking, biking, and zip lining will require stakeholder input, Indigenous consultation, and environmental safeguards. flag While the designation enables future projects, approvals are not guaranteed. flag Plans for upgrades at Fortress Mountain Resort include new lifts, a hotel, spa, and retail space. flag The initiative is part of a broader effort to diversify tourism beyond Banff and Canmore and reduce regulatory barriers.
