Dec 05 2018 SLRD Board "Adventure Begins Here" Tourism Pemberton's mission is to develop and market tourism in the Pemberton Valley and surrounding areas to the benefit of Tourists and Residents. The organization's vision is to promote Pemberton and District as BC's premier adventure gateway community and to positively impact the Districts economy. The board of TP, our members and all residents that are affected by Tourism thank you. Our current Mission and Vision is to be inclusive with the surrounding areas and districts. At our last board meeting TP has agreed to move forward on an economic impact study of Tourism in the Pemberton and District and surrounding areas. We can not afford to have a study commissioned for these areas, but we can and should include relevant information they might have. Bridge River has come forward with their most recent information. We look forward to both N’Quatqua and Lil’wat to provide results of any studies. Pacific Analytics will be following the same general approach that they did for the BRV, using the Tourism Canada Visitor Survey and the Census Place of Work employment and wages data to provide info on spending that can not be identified from other data. The key info will be calculating accommodation spending and trying to determine the recreation values. We will be provided with Revenue/spending, GDP. Pacific will require from us information on tourism companies operating in the Pemberton/Region areas. Names are a minimum, but it would be extremely useful if they can get their revenues and, if possible, their financial statements (they will forward a letter of confidentiality to them). For some companies (e.g., riding stables which I think you have a few or the Big Sky golf course etc), an estimate of revenues and the percentage that comes from non-locals would be important. Not sure if Pemberton (or the regional district) has a business tax or property tax listing with some info attached, but that could be helpful. As mentioned, unless there is a major, major problem (there wasn't with the BRV), the cost would be $7,500 plus GST and the deliverable would be in the same format as what I produced for the BRV. Attached is our response to Village of Pemberton regarding continuation of CIOF. We need to continue with our contractor who monitors and updates our Social media. She also coordinates the successful SFCS event. I am certain you see the value in continuing this event. We wish for you to continue to support the matching funding.
