BC leaders in business, tourism, and sport convened earlier this month for a virtual public discussion on how hosting the 2030 Olympic Winter Games could align with the province’s long-term goals, while also providing a jump start to the battered tourism industry after the pandemic.
During an event held by the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade, former VANOC president and CEO John Furlong maintained that the Games could be re-hosted in Metro Vancouver, Whistler, and possibly elsewhere in the province as the sports venues and infrastructure already exist, and more importantly because of the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) flexible reforms on hosting requirements.
