Tourism Kelowna has evolved from being a division of the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce to an independent Society that is governed by tourism industry stakeholders through an elected Board of Directors. This change means that the Visitor Centre brochure racking, Official Kelowna Visitors’ Guide listing and website listing on www.tourismkelowna.com will now be provided by Tourism Kelowna rather than being a benefit of Kelowna Chamber of Commerce membership.

A stakeholder model has been adopted by the Tourism Kelowna Board which means that all tourism businesses and organizations in the Central Okanagan – the geographic area represented and hence impacted by Tourism Kelowna marketing activities – are automatically stakeholders with Tourism Kelowna without paying a membership fee. Businesses who decide to link themselves to Tourism Kelowna’s marketing activities through the purchase of one or more of the destination advertising packages offered will receive the added benefit of being eligible to volte for the Board of Directors. A variety of advertising packages has been developed to meet the needs of all sizes of businesses.

Please note:

• The offers are available to tourism related businesses.
• The Central Okanagan includes Peachland in the south to Lake Country in the north
• Only participating businesses within the Central Okanagan are eligible to vote for the Tourism Kelowna Board of Directors.
