The Tłıchǫ Government has launched a new, consolidated tourism hub on its website to help visitors plan trips to Behchokǫ̀. The updated page serves as a single source for travel information, replacing the previous system that directed tourists to various external regional boards.
Located approximately 110 km northwest of Yellowknife, Behchokǫ̀ is the largest Dene community in the Northwest Territories. The new online portal at tlicho.ca aims to make it easier for day-trippers and overnight guests to find local services in one place.
The website now features comprehensive details on how to get to the community, including travel options via Frontier Coachlines bus service or flights with Air Tindi. Visitors can also find information on local accommodations, such as the Tłıchǫ Hotel, the Winter Hawk Bed & Breakfast in Edzo, and Rabesca Resources Ltd near Frank Channel.
For those looking to explore the outdoors, the page highlights the North Arm Territorial Park. The park, located off Highway 3, offers a campground with 15 powered sites, washrooms, a playground, and a kitchen shelter.
The portal also promotes local culture by connecting travellers to the Tłıchǫ Online Store, where handmade arts and crafts like beaded jackets and paintings are available. Visitors can also view these items in person at the Tłıchǫ government office storefront in Behchokǫ̀. Other Indigenous-owned experiences, such as those provided by True North Safaris, are also integrated to assist guests in planning wilderness or wildlife tours.
