Over 50 new tourism projects across B.C., including on Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast, are getting a financial leg-up from the province.
They’re getting funding through the Community Economic Recovery Infrastructure Program’s destination development stream.
The province says it creates jobs and develops infrastructure that will attract visitors to B.C. when travel resumes.
Approved projects include campground and recreational-vehicle site development, alpine and mountain bike trails, boat launch upgrades, construction and/or renovations of visitor amenities and Indigenous interpretive centres.
