Manic Monday | Remarkable people video series launches ...

A famous Barbara Streisand song offers up a well-known phrase "people....people who need people"....  Now I am very certain "the Babs" was not referring to the tourism industry when she belted out those words, but she certainly could have been. Tourism is arguably one of the most labour intensive industries in the world, and while we have slowly seen some automation of positions it truly is a sector that not only survives but thrives on "people".

Over the past 12 months our team at TOTA has travelled around the region meeting with those people that are the backbone of the industry. Working in positions both behind the scenes as well as on the front line, each of them present their own unique view of tourism and each are essential to making the guest experience the best it can be.  From a Banjo Player on the Steam Train in Summerland to an Indigenous Rodeo Clown;  a Yoga /Kayak instructor to a Guide in Wells Gray, these are the people who make our region truly Remarkable ... they are our "Remarkable People".

We are pleased to bring you a series of vignettes each week for the entire fall/winter season that will highlight many of these Remarkable People and this week we are pleased to start the series off by introducing you to Matthew Morison.

Matt is a Canadian Snowboarder, Olympic Athlete, and a helicopter pilot with Robson Heli Magic flying out of Valemount, taking guests on experiences of a lifetime. We introduce you to our first Remarkable Person, the incomparable Matthew Morison....view video
