Manic Monday | Just a few moments of your time to answer some key questions....
November 2nd will mark one year since the Thompson Okanagan received official certification as one of only 21 Biosphere Destination's worldwide. Our team’s work and focus on this important file has not stopped since that time.
During the ensuing 10 1/2 months we have worked with our Interdepartmental Committee to identify numerous sustainability initiatives taking place around the region; launched the Biosphere Adhesion program for Stakeholders and Communities; engaged with the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) to support us with training workshops, which will be taking place this fall; and currently working on the action plan that is required as part of our ongoing certification activities.
In order to satisfy some of the action item requirements we have created a brief survey which we hope you will review and answer.
All of your answers to the questions remain anonymous and the results will be used as an aggregate number when reporting our information back to the Responsible Tourism Institute.
Sustainability is everyone’s business and critical to the successful future of the region. We thank you in advance to taking time to complete these questions and look forward to any questions or comments you may have.
For more information on the Biosphere Adhesion Commitment for Stakeholders and Communities and how you can become part of this program, which includes the GSTC Training, please contact Ellen Walker-Matthews at industry@totabc.com
