Tourism British Columbia - Canada

Community Tourism Programs

Tourism BC works with the province's six Regional Destination Marketing Organizations (RDMO’s) and communities throughout the province on tourism development initiatives. Two community-based programs work closely with groups looking to develop tourism in their area for both the long and short-term. 

The Community Tourism Foundations® program is designed for communities seeking assistance in long-term destination planning.  The Community Tourism Opportunities™ program provides implementation-level co-op marketing support for communities that have identified specific tactics for moving their local tourism industry forward. Tourism BC also works with industry partners on a number of sport tourism initiatives. See below for more information on specific programs.
