About
Originally from Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, two travelers with a vision.
Martin and Martine are travelers who decided to put down roots in their home region. They developed their businesses in an adventure tourism destination within Quebec, known for its strong recreational tourism potential.
Their first business plan was to start a glamping site. What they actually achieved 6 years after starting was helping other outdoor operators build ready-to-camp accommodations.
Today, they are proud clients of a recreational tourism site that accommodates over 20,000 overnight stays per year, with 2 restaurants in its unique accommodations.
Actively involved in its representation during international opportunities, the two entrepreneurs ensure leadership in the tourism industry.
Helping you build a successful glamping business is our commitment.
