For this week's 75x75 installment, Jim and Regina McCarthy share their firsthand perspectives on Newfoundland’s evolving tourism industry, reflecting on how Confederation and the influence of Joey Smallwood helped shape the province’s appeal to travellers. Drawing from their experience operating McCarthy’s Party Tours since 1982, they highlight the personal connections, cultural traditions, and community engagement that have defined their approach. Through their stories, we gain a deeper appreciation for the province’s rich heritage and enduring sense of hospitality.
