The learning continues at the 2024 TOTA Summit. We continued the day with two engaging and insightful panels: ‘From Data to Decisions: Harnessing Research for Sustainable Tourism Growth’ & ‘The Tourism Shakeup’ and a thoughtful discussion during ‘Embracing Authentic Partnerships, Beyond Land Acknowledgements’ that provided an open conversation about creating authentic partnerships with Indigenous Communities and collaborators. We want to thank Predator Ridge Resort for hosting us today, SenseNet Inc. for sponsoring lunch and ‘Embracing Authentic Partnerships, Beyond Land Acknowledgements’, and KF Centre for Excellence for sponsoring ‘The Tourism Shakeup’. #ThompsonOkanagan #TourismVernon #ExploreVernon #TOTASummit #StayAWhile

What a great start to the morning at Predator Ridge Resort! The first half of the 2024 Summit started off with insights into tourism industry research and 'Tourism What Just Happened’ from Chase Gray. Along with a workshop about how to implement AI into our daily work habits and into the Tourism Industry, so fascinating! Thank you to our speakers Chase Gray and Peter Pilarski for starting the day with so much valuable information! We’re excited to see what the rest of the day brings!
