Tourism Reps Get Refresher On Attractions

The summer tourism season is just around the corner — and an event next week aims to get the word out about Vernon.

City Tourism manager Ange Chew says 40 people from BC Visitor Centres and from local tourism businesses will visit local attractions to become more familiar with what’s available.

“Sometimes we forget what’s in our own backyard. So it’s a good refreshment for our front line (hotel and other) staff to see what’s new, a good networking session for all the partners in general, and an opportunity for our local partners to network with all the BC Visitor Centre teams,” Chew tells Beach Radio News.

The 40 participants will be coming from as far away as Whistler and Prince George.
