Transforming Communities through Tourism

March 9-14, 2008  Garibaldi Springs Resort, Squamish BC
Professional development opportunity for community decision makers

Transforming Communities through Tourism: Investing your Provincial Tourism Dollars Wisely” is a unique 5½ day hands-on educational experience. It is designed for local government decision makers who are involved with tourism planning or destination development initiatives in their communities.  Building upon the success of last February’s pilot, the program is being offered again this March in the heart of the Sea-to-Sky region.  Participants will receive an unparalleled opportunity to learn from province’s leading academics and tourism industry professionals.  In addition to gaining the most current knowledge on tourism planning, they will also walk away with new tools and techniques for successful destination development, and will take away a practical, information-rich handbook.

Check out the preliminary program brochure posted on the CivicInfo BC website.
