Completed in 2008, and now the responsibility of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, the Recreation Sites and Trails Market Development Plan [692 KB], was developed by a Joint Industry/Government Working Group comprised of Recreation Sites and Trails BC, the Ministry, BC Parks, Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC, BC Camping and RVing Coalition, and Tourism Vancouver Island. The Recreation Sites and Trails Market Development Plan is a 7-year plan that outlines strategies for focused marketing for the first time since the recreation sites were established in the 1970s.
The Plan is one of many strategic actions to assist in the creation of a more dynamic, diversified and sustainable tourism sector that fosters strategic partnerships and collaborative initiatives. The Plan is focused on enabling recreation sites and trails across B.C. to be positioned as an integral tourism asset to communities, and be a key provider in the provision of a range of outdoor recreation opportunities throughout the province.
