Economic Recovery Series: Tourism & Hospitality in a time of COVID-19
The economic rebound of British Columbia hinges on the recovery of critical economic sectors such as tourism and hospitality.
Prior to the pandemic, tourism contributed $8.3 billion to provincial GDP and employed more than 160,000 people. For our region and province to recover, it is essential that government provide support measures to help the industry overcome and rebuild from the devastating impacts of COVID-19.
The panellists will discuss the short- and long-term measures, programs and priorities that will help tourism-reliant businesses survive today and transform our region for the future.
This event is part of our Economic Recovery Series, each event will provide valuable information to help you and your business navigate the economic impacts of COVID-19.
