Reviews

"I joined CATEPlus last year and have found their professional development seminars extremely helpful. The workshops on sustainable tourism and critical thinkings skills have improved our team's resilience. Membership gives good access to industry networking that I wouldn't otherwise get out in my region."

Tour Guide
"The idea behind CATEPlus is sound, but I've experienced slow response times when trying to reach support. Also, some promised "exclusive discounts" are minimal or redundant with what we already get locally. I wish more of the financial and marketing tools were tailored for Alberta contexts."

"CATE's national focus sometimes means local realities get overlooked. We in Newfoundland have unique challenges (seasonality, transport) and I've yet to see concrete tools or funding help targeted to our area. The site is decent, as I look forward to more actionable local support."

"CATE operations and advocacy in Niagara Falls has imapcted significantly on my new journey and asylum seeking in Canada. They have assisited me in acquiring my driving license, my truck license, credit card, new home, training in customer service excellence, loans and making feel at home and cared for. I couldn't have done it without their help."
