Résumé
Le village inuit d’Arviat, situé au sud-ouest du Nunavut, est aujourd’hui au coeur d’un programme de développement touristique communautaire mené par le Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. et la région de Kivalliq. Ce programme vise à développer les services touristiques de la communauté qui se limitent pour le moment à du tourisme de chasse. Cet article analyse les dynamiques développées par ce programme de tourisme de découverte de l’environnement et décrit ses principaux enjeux. La recherche se fonde sur une revue de la littérature concernant le tourisme au Nunavut, complétée par une enquête de terrain qualitative (entretiens semi-directifs et observations) menée à Arviat en mai 2011. Suite à une présentation du tourisme de chasse, la mise en oeuvre de nouveaux services touristiques est discutée. Le programme tend notamment à renforcer les capacités d’adaptation de la communauté à un système socio-écologique en constante évolution. L’article se termine sur les réalisations du programme et les enjeux futurs.
Abstract
In the Inuit village of Arviat, located in southwestern Nunavut, a community-based tourism development program has been set up by Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. and the Kivalliq region. The program aims to develop the community’s tourism services, which for now are confined to hunting tourism. This article goes over the dynamics of this ecotourism program and describes its major challenges. Research was conducted by first reviewing the literature on tourism in Nunavut and then doing qualitative fieldwork (semi-directive interviews and observations) in Arviat in May 2011. Following a presentation about hunting tourism, the article covers the implementation of new tourism services. The program notably tends to strengthen the community’s capacities to adapt to a constantly changing socio-ecological system. The article concludes with a discussion of what the program has achieved and its future challenges.
