Rodney Payne – Sustainability as a Driver of Profit
The global travel sector was hit hard by COVID-19 and many businesses and destinations are still recovering. Natural disasters, housing crises, cost of living challenges, and workforce shortages leave our industry facing an uphill battle. It feels tone-deaf to begin talking about sustainability, but Rodney Payne will challenge us to flip that logic on its head. He will show how sustainability, combined with creative business strategy, might be the very thing that can make our economy more resilient, reduce seasonality, help to reduce labor force pressure, and make our destination more competitive and resilient. With inspiring examples from around the world, this presentation will leave us to consider how a focus on yield and profit might be the right approach for our region.
Walt Judas – TIABC’s Tourism Advocacy Priorities & Town Hall
After a rollercoaster year where some BC destinations set performance records while others lagged because of travel orders, road closures, and/or wildfires, Walt will provide a briefing on the issues that continue to impact BC’s visitor economy, and how TIABC and its members/partners are working to address both challenges and opportunities.
