Accommodation
Hotels
All communities have accommodation facilities, hotels, hostels and/or bed & breakfast establishments open all year. The accommodation and facilities may be shared, and are often quite basic. There are, however, full service hotels in the larger centres that also have meeting and conference facilities. Iqaluit, the capital, now hosts approximately 260 rooms, including hotels and bed & breakfast establishments. ‘Lodges’ designed for outdoor activity holidays or naturalist trips can be found in some areas. Nunavut Tourism publishes an annual vacation planner detailing accommodation and other tourism services in Nunavut (see Contact Addresses section).
Camping
Backpacking and tent camping is a popular summer activity. Ellesmere Island National Park, Auyuittuq National Park and Katannilik Territorial Park are particularly popular with hikers.
