The Nunavut Lodge & Outfitting Market in 2026: What Buyers and Sellers Should Know
Nunavut's lodge market is small, specialized and unlike anywhere else in Canada. It includes fly-in Arctic char and lake trout camps on the barrenland lakes and rivers, community-based outfitters guiding polar bear, muskox and caribou hunts, and tourist establishments serving cruise and expedition visitors. Sales are rare. Every operation is licensed annually, land is held under three very different regimes, and hunting runs through the communities.
Every operator is licensed every year
Nunavut's tourism officers issue Outfitter Licences and Tourist Establishment Licences annually. Each application is reviewed for the operator's planned activities, locations and qualifications, and for compliance with building, fire, public health, wildlife and environmental legislation. The current Tourism Act came into force in 2017, and the territory recorded 73 licensed or regulated tourism operations in 2022. A buyer is buying into that annual approval process, not a permanent permit.
Hunting runs through the communities
Non-residents can hunt big game in Nunavut only through a licensed outfitter and with a professional big game guide. Each community's Hunters and Trappers Organization (HTO) approves who can be licensed as a guide, and tags for species like polar bear and muskox are often allocated through the HTO. For a hunting business, the working relationship with the HTO and community guides is the core asset.
Land sits under three different regimes
Land in Nunavut is Crown land, Commissioner's land or Inuit Owned Land. Inuit Owned Land covers 356,000 km², about 17.7% of the territory, with surface title administered by the three Regional Inuit Associations. Crown land outside communities is administered federally under the Territorial Lands Act, while most land inside municipal boundaries is Commissioner's land. Which one a camp sits on decides who issues its lease.
Fewer visitors, higher spending
In the third quarter of 2025, non-resident visitors took 22,800 trips to Nunavut, down 8.8% from a year earlier, but their spending rose 4.5% to $46.1 million. Destination Nunavut has linked the drop in visitors to cost-of-living pressures. For lodges, the visitors who do make the trip are high-value, and remote fishing and hunting clients are a small but premium market.
What Nunavut lodges sell for
Across Canadian lodge and resort sales, gross revenue multipliers run from about 2.0× to 6.0×. Remote Arctic operations carry very high charter, fuel and supply costs and short seasons, which pushes them toward the low end. With so few comparable sales, a Nunavut camp's value rests on its documented revenue, its licences and its land tenure.
What drives value in Nunavut properties
- Land tenure: IOL, Crown or Commissioner's
- Annual outfitter & establishment licences
- HTO relationships & community guides
- Fishery quality: char, lake trout, grayling
- Charter, fuel & supply logistics
- Airstrip & aircraft access
- EBITDA margin & documented revenue history
- Season length & client repeat rate

Nunavut's Lodge & Outfitting Regions
Where Nunavut Lodges and Outfitters Are: A Regional Breakdown
Nunavut's three regions each support a different kind of tourism business, from barrenland fishing camps to floe-edge expeditions.
Kivalliq
Rankin Inlet, Baker Lake & the Barrenlands
The west coast of Hudson Bay and the barrenland lakes inland. Fly-in lake trout and grayling camps, caribou and muskox hunting near Baker Lake, and polar bear hunts from coastal communities.
Kitikmeot
Cambridge Bay, Kugluktuk & the Central Arctic
The central Arctic coast and Victoria Island. Arctic char rivers, lake trout, and muskox and caribou hunting, with fly-in camps serving anglers and hunters from the south.
Qikiqtaaluk
Baffin Island & the High Arctic
Iqaluit, Pond Inlet, Pangnirtung and the High Arctic islands. Floe-edge and wildlife expeditions, Auyuittuq and Sirmilik national parks, cruise visits, and polar bear hunting from several communities.
Communities
Community Hospitality
Hotels, inns and B&Bs in Iqaluit and regional hubs, serving business travellers as well as tourists. These usually sit on Commissioner's land within municipal boundaries and depend heavily on business and government travel.
Nunavut Due Diligence Essentials
Licences, Land Regimes and HTOs in Nunavut
A Nunavut lodge or outfitting business depends on annual licences, a lease from the right landholder, and working relationships with the community. Each needs to be confirmed separately.
Tourist Establishment Licence
Lodges and camps that host guests need a Tourist Establishment Licence, issued annually by Nunavut's tourism officers after a review of the operation's activities, location and compliance with building, fire and public health rules. Confirm the licence history and what the buyer must hold.
Outfitter Licence & Guides
Outfitting requires an annual Outfitter Licence. Outfitters must list their guides in the application, and guides need wilderness first aid. Non-residents can hunt big game only through a licensed outfitter and with a professional big game guide.
Inuit Owned Land
Inuit Owned Land covers about 17.7% of Nunavut, with surface title held by the Kitikmeot, Kivalliq or Qikiqtani Inuit Association. A camp on Inuit Owned Land needs a land use licence or commercial lease from that association. Confirm the lease term and whether it can be assigned.
Crown Land
Crown land outside communities is administered federally, through Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada, under the Territorial Lands Act. Remote camps on Crown land need a lease or permit from that office, so confirm the lease and its transfer terms.
Commissioner's Land
Most land inside municipal boundaries is Commissioner's land, administered for the use and benefit of the municipality. Community-based hotels, inns and B&Bs usually sit on this land, so confirm the lease or title with the municipality.
Hunters & Trappers Organizations
Each community's HTO approves who can be licensed as a big game guide and often allocates tags for species like polar bear and muskox. A hunting outfitter's value depends on these relationships, so talk with the HTO as part of due diligence.
Nunavut's land and licensing framework is unique, so use a lawyer familiar with territorial and Inuit Owned Land before you commit, and build in time for annual licence renewal. See the full lodge due diligence checklist →
