SOLVING THE STAFFING CRISIS IN BC TOURISM

FESTIVAL & EVENTS
The Festival and Events and the Consumer Shows campaigns will come to an end March 31, 2016. This past year saw the 89th Williams Lake Stampede, Quesnel Skyfest, the South Cariboo Garlic Festival and The Arts Wells Programs successfully produce events and experiences with support from our co-op marketing program ~ bringing many new travellers to and through our Region.
Enthusiastic about your new programs? New expansions? Please share with us at the CCCTA.
CONCLUSION
During 2016 we hope to upscale the marketing newsletter so that it becomes more of a practical and useful tool and source of information for you. Any suggestions that you have in what you would like to see would be taken in a very positive light.
Times are a changing and we must change with them. As the CCCTA Staff - in particular myself - becoming more effective I hope to have more personal contact with each of you this coming season and hopefully visit more of your facilities. Personal experiences feed our ability to best promote this region and your businesses.
