Stewardship

Policies

Tourism Kelowna is committed to ensuring our region stays beautiful, welcoming, and sustainable. We have developed policies that show our commitment to both sustainability and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). We're always working to reduce the environmental impact of tourism, support local businesses, and protect what makes Kelowna special. At the same time, we’re focused on creating a more inclusive experience where everyone feels welcome, no matter their background. It’s all part of our mission to create a tourism economy that is sustainable and welcoming for both visitors and residents.
