Heritage Tourism Community Planning Workshop
Is your community ready to explore heritage tourism opportunities and take the first steps toward a coordinated heritage tourism development strategy? In this one-day planning workshop, funded by Heritage BC, local heritage sites and museums, heritage societies, First Nations, tourism associations, tourism business owners and other key stakeholders will learn how to pool their resources and efforts to develop a heritage tourism vision for their community.
Participants will carry out an inventory and assessment of potential heritage tourism events and experiences in the community and devise an action plan for developing unique products and integrated promotional strategies.
Contact Ursula Pfahler at ursula@podacomm.ca for further information on the workshop. For funding guidelines, visit the Heritage BC website: http://www.heritagebc.ca/education/hbc-workshop-program
