Sustainable Tourism

At Tourism Revelstoke, we try to weave sustainability into everything we do. From destination management and marketing strategies to partnerships with conservation groups, we are committed to promoting responsible travel that respects our environment and local community.

Recently, two of our team members had the opportunity to attend the IMPACT Sustainability Conference in Victoria, BC. This event brought together leaders from across the tourism industry to discuss innovative approaches to sustainable tourism, share best practices, and collaborate on solutions that will shape the future of travel. Taniell Hamilton from our team presented at the conference, inspiring the audience with our Thanksgiving Back program.

We were also accompanied by City Councillor, Tim Stapenhurst, and Director of Community Economic Development, Ryan Watmough. These partnerships help support a better understanding of how tourism can be a positive force in our community.

We know over-tourism is a concern in Revelstoke, and we do our best to influence visitor behavior in ways that serve our community. By integrating insights from the Tourism Impact Conference with the foundational principles outlined in our Destination Management Plan, we continue to push forward sustainable tourism initiatives. This approach ensures that our community thrives, our environment remains protected, and our cultural heritage is celebrated.
