Vancouver Island is a tourism hotspot, but recent travel restrictions means only locals can enjoy all the Island has to offer.
To give non-Islanders a warm welcome back when the time comes – and to beef up the region’s tourism sector – five new destination and tourism developments currently underway are getting some extra funding from the Province, as part of its ‘Targeted Regional Tourism Initiative.’
The goal is to ramp up employment opportunities, attract new businesses, and increase economic diversification within communities.
