The Kootenay Rockies Tourism Association will receive $2.3 million to invest in regional tourism development.
As part of the province’s Stronger BC economic recovery plan B.C.’s six tourism regions will receive a total of $13.6 million to create employment opportunities, attract new businesses and spur economic diversification within communities.
“We recognize these are challenging times and we appreciate the sacrifices everyone is making to flatten the curve and be safe,” said Melanie Mark, Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport. “This funding for regional tourism organizations was a call to action to help B.C. communities to be ready to welcome travellers as soon as it’s safe to do so and it reflects our Government’s commitment to work collaboratively and support people to get back to work.”
