Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association (TOTA) in association with Destination BC, Recreation Sites and Trails BC, Trails BC, Trans Canada Trail Society, B.C. Cycling Coalition and Cyclo Touring B.C. Program, is pleased to announce workshop dates for the Thompson Okanagan Regional Rail Trails Tourism Strategy.
This strategy, scheduled to be complete by October 2015, will assist the regional rail trail network in creating an internationally export-ready tourism product and will further advance the goals presented in the 10-year Regional Tourism Strategy Embracing Our Potential (totabc.org/corporateSite/regional-strategy).
