The Autumn season continues to produce great media results for Tourism Kelowna.
More International Coverage
As wine harvest continues and right before the fall wine festivals began, UK-based food and wine expert Fiona Beckett published this article in The Guardian, detailing her stops in Kelowna and the Okanagan Valley. Ms Beckett was hosted by Tourism Kelowna during her summer visit to British Columbia.
Okanagan Food & Wine Writers Workshop
Local travel writer Jennifer Cockrall-King, author of Food Artisans of the Okanagan, plans an annual workshop for food and wine writers from across Canada, here in Kelowna. Margo True, food editor of Sunset Magazine and Jill Foran, editor of WestJet Magazine were among the guest instructors, and Tourism Kelowna took the opportunity to share the sights (and flavours) of Kelowna with them to generate future travel articles.
Familiarization Tours & Go Media Travel Writers Conference
Recently, Tourism Kelowna has hosted a number of travel media from Spokane, Washington; Montreal, Quebec; and Paris, France.

Tourism Kelowna will be also attending Go Media, organized by Destination Canada, in Montreal, from October 16-20, meeting with travel media from across Canada and the world to pitch stories and share updates on what’s new in Kelowna.
