There appears to be little on the horizon to change the economic profiles of Burwash Landing or Destruction Bay. Tourist travel is expected to increase as a result of efforts to expand tourism across the Yukon. Developing more activities, especially in the areas of adventure, cultural, and environmental tourism, could also boost tourist numbers. The communities' location close to Kluane National Park offers some potential that tourism developments will increase traffic. Further tourism-related services could be developed locally, but the bulk of work opportunities will still be seasonal.
Education and communication skills are increasingly important in attracting tourists and giving them good service. It will be important to look at ways to use local knowledge of the Burwash Landing area to provide guiding services, and to build on traditions, arts and crafts to interest tourists. Older people with an interest in a range of cultural activities are a growing sector in tourism, and these people demand a high level of services.
