First Journey Consulting, which
is owned by Thomas Schoen and
Sundance Topham, evolved
from Native Heritage Travel, a company in existence for almost a decade.
Specializing in the cultural tourism market, First Journey Consulting has
developed three unique tourism ventures: The X'ats'ull
Heritage Village and the St.
George Hotel and McMahon's
Confectionery in Barkerville
Historic Town.
The Award winning X'ats'ull Heritage
Village is one of BC's premier Native Tourism sites and is owned and operated
by the Soda Creek First Nation. The Historic St. George Hotel is Canada's
only 1880's Heritage Hotel, located in the heart of a living museum. McMahon's
Confectionery is a successful retail business operating in Barkerville Historic
Town. All three businesses were developed from the planning stages to completion
by members of the consulting group.
Sundance Topham currently works
in an administrative capacity for the District
of Wells, and Thomas Schoen is currently running McMahon's
Confectionery in Barkerville
Historic Town.
