Tourism really adds to the local economy in a variety of ways. The Flin Flon area has the potential to be enhanced and turned into a destination area because of the natural resources and amenities in the area, therefore increasing the overall economy and sustainability of the community. The continuous development of tourism aligns with the council's mission on the development of a socially, culturally strong, sustainable community while retaining a premium quality of life.
