Planning a trip should not feel like research homework.

For Part 1 of our 'Pattern in Practice' series, we’re looking back at Explore the Whiteshell and what it taught us about regional tourism UX.

In other words: making the Whiteshell easier to explore.

But the strongest initiatives often are not built on one grant. They are built through a sequence of aligned funding opportunities.
