BCTCRI: Project One

Facilitated Sustainable Tourism and Climate Adaptation Planning for Tourism Businesses

Project One of the BCTCRI–Facilitated Sustainable Tourism and Climate Adaptation Planning for Tourism Businesses–provides free, one-on-one, tailored support to tourism businesses looking to incorporate environmental sustainability or climate adaptation measures into their operations, strategy, and storytelling.

Businesses accepted into this program are connected with an experienced Program Advisor and other sustainability and climate adaptation experts from Destination BC’s subject matter expert network. The advisors and experts will work one-on-one with each business to help them develop a sustainability and climate adaptation roadmap and perform detailed assessments to identify the most impactful, customized measures for climate resiliency.

Benefits to a business participating in this program include:

• A program advisor that will guide your business in creating a “roadmap to resiliency.” This roadmap is customized for your tourism business, at no cost and with expert advice, to be used as a personalized plan to improve sustainability and climate adaptation in your business.
• Along the way, you will learn how to integrate sustainability and climate adaptation best practices into your tourism business operations with free resources and learning opportunities such as workshops.
• One-on-one coaching to help your tourism business implement its new sustainability and climate adaptation roadmap.
