B.C.’s premier says the province is planning to launch an “aggressive” marketing campaign to encourage British Columbians to explore other areas of the province this summer.
John Horgan expects domestic tourism to perhaps hit record levels with international travel and visitors not currently permitted.
“We’ll see domestic tourism pick up, and, in fact, break records as British Columbians stay home and enjoy the beauty and splendors of every corner of the province. International [visitors] is going to be a challenge and we and the industry need to get our heads around that,” Horgan told a news conference Wednesday.
The premier said current restrictions on non-essential travel could start to be lifted in the next couple of weeks, depending on the daily information on COVID-19 cases.
