So, don’t delay – Register Now – and join us for a day of informative guest speakers and workshops. Chris Dadson will present his last annual President’s Report on the Kootenay Rockies Region and the afternoon will feature Professor Rod Harris, from Royal Roads University delivering a presentation on Shock Waves Facing the Industry. The day will conclude with discussions on Social Media. This year, go2: The Resource for People in Tourism are again generously contributing to the event through sponsorship. We are pleased they will also be presenting British Columbia’s New Tourism Labour Market Strategy.
Here is a brief overview on the Strategy:
Feeling the Labour Crunch?
The industry will be a leader in job growth in BC with more than 101,000 new job openings to fill between now and 2020. go2, BC’s tourism human resource association, has released the BC Tourism Labour Market Strategy to outline the plan to recruit, retain and train the workers needed to keep pace with the growth projected for the industry.
In this detailed report, you’ll learn why we cannot just rely on young workers to fill these openings – and you’ll learn how we can work together to address the challenges facing small, rural and seasonal businesses in the Kootenay Rockies and throughout the province.

Join us for business and stay for the celebration! This year’s AGM marks the retirement of our longtime President, Chris Dadson. We invite you to attend to wish him well on his retirement from Kootenay Rockies Tourism. Join us for a special dinner and party in his honour. |
