Manic Monday | Not Another Travel Website...

Aug 27

Written By Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association

The team at TOTA are very excited to announce that our new site, ThompsonOkanagan.com, will go live today and we look forward to our industry stakeholders and partners taking the time to review this site and provide us feedback.

This consumer-facing site has been created, not as a travel website, but rather a medium by which we are able to more fully convey our message of sustainability; its importance and significance to our region and how our collective efforts are aligned to ensure the Thompson Okanagan grows tourism in a responsible and sustainable manner.

ThompsonOkanagan.com will be highlighting tourism stakeholders, their stories and initiatives, taking place throughout the region that are helping to inspire and assist us in collectively moving forward the 17 Sustainable Development Goal areas, as outlined by the UNWTO. The site will also provide an opportunity to showcase communities and stakeholders who have shown their long term support of the region’s economic, social and environmental sustainability, by formally agreeing to participate in the Biosphere Adhesion program as Committed Companies.

ThompsonOkanagan.com is not another regional travel website, but rather a portal that will allow the region to showcase a much deeper and richer story of who we are and what we stand for as a destination. Whether showcasing sunscreen products that protect the skin while simultaneously protecting our lakes; or highlighting wineries that grow produce within their vineyards, for distribution to regional food banks, there are incredible stories to be told around the region that we know, can and will, set us apart in the competitive world marketplace.

We encourage you to visit ThompsonOkanagan.com, we encourage you to get involved through the Biosphere Adhesion Program, we encourage you to send us your stories of Sustainability.
