English term or phrase: outfitters
Bonjour,

Je me demande s'il s'agit de pourvoyeurs dans ce contexte.

ABC is an unusual concept in the world of outfitters, but a concept that proves more and more popular and relevant each year. Instead of just a fishing rod or gun, our guests have the chance to appreciate nature and the spectacular view of the Appalachian and Green mountains, with binoculars, camera, hiking poles, a kite or hand-in-hand of a loved one.

Merci d'avance!

neutral  Odile Raymond: "In the world of outfitters" implies that they want to reach markets outside Canada, but pourvoyeur/pourvoirie would be absolutely unintelligible to a Fr-Fr audience, and équipementier even more so, as it usually refers to the automotive industry.

  -> Well, asker is in Canada, and for all we know, Canada might be this company's entire "world"...
