Tourism Kelowna is flying high after being named a finalist for the Community Contribution and Impact Award.

“Tourism Kelowna is proud to be shortlisted for this award as we continue our work towards a sustainable and meaningful impact through tourism,” said Lisanne Ballantyne, President and CEO of Tourism Kelowna. “It is especially gratifying as it shows that our work, and Kelowna’s Tourism Destination Development Plan, are aligned with the global trend to destination management, where the tourism industry works together with the community to benefit visitors and locals, even in times of adversity.”

Presented by the BC Tourism Industry Awards, Kelowna is one of three finalists that demonstrates a commitment to social responsibility and works collaboratively with local government and stakeholders.

The awards will be announced on March 7 as the BC Tourism Industry Conference.
