WHY KELOWNA

The unparalleled variety and value in Kelowna will provide your clients with a comfortable 'home away from home'.  Guests may choose from hotels, motels, resorts, B & B's, vacation homes/cottages/suites, or a houseboat experience.  Whether you choose to be located on the waterfront, in the Cultural District or on a hill with a city view, there is something to meet every need, budget and service expectation.

Big City Comforts, Small Town Charm: The largest city in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, Kelowna boasts all the urban amenities of a major city but is still easy to navigate, with warm and welcoming residents.

Limitless Options: Kelowna offers a myriad of choices for activities that will make planning spousal programs and off-site events a breeze. Championship golf courses, winery tours, gaming centres, orchards and gardens, a thriving Cultural District, water activities on Okanagan Lake, hiking, biking, and Big White Ski Resort are just some of the many activity choices in Kelowna.

Accessibility: Kelowna is easily accessible by bus, car and air - the Kelowna International Airport is the 10th busiest in Canada and welcomes daily non-stop flights from Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Victoria and Seattle. Kelowna is a four-hour flight from Toronto and only a one-hour flight from Calgary, Vancouver, Victoria and Seattle.

Excellent Support Services: Tourism Kelowna will assist you in accessing accommodation, off-site event venues, technical services and suppliers that will go the extra mile to ensure your clients' experience, group tour or event is a success.

Good Value: With an average of 2,000 hours of sunshine every year, our destination offers meeting planners great value from October - May on everything from accommodation to the limitless activity options available year round.
