Facilitated Sustainable Tourism and Climate Adaptation Planning for Tourism Businesses

Project One of the BC Tourism Climate Resiliency Initiative (BCTCRI)–Facilitated Sustainable Tourism and Climate Adaptation Planning for Tourism Businesses–provides free, one-on-one, tailored support to tourism businesses looking to incorporate environmental sustainability or climate adaptation measures into their operations, strategy, and storytelling.

Businesses accepted into this program are connected with an experienced Program Advisor and other sustainability and climate adaptation experts from Destination BC’s subject matter expert network. The advisors and experts will work one-on-one with each business to help them develop a sustainability and climate adaptation roadmap and perform detailed assessments to identify the most impactful, customized measures for climate resiliency.
