We want to extend a very warm welcome to the businesses that have become Tourism Kelowna Members and Advertisers in the past few months and take this opportunity to introduce them to the rest of our network and industry. Tourism-related businesses can become members or advertisers with Tourism Kelowna anytime during the year by booking a Base or Enhanced Advertising Program.

About Tourism Kelowna's Membership and Advertising Programs
Businesses within and beyond the Central Okanagan fall into two categories within Tourism Kelowna's programs:
- Member: All tourism-related businesses located within the Central Okanagan. Accommodation providers must be MRDT or DMF remitters; those that don't may qualify as Advertisers.
- Advertiser: Non-tourism-related businesses located in the Central Okanagan, tourism-related businesses located outside the Central Okanagan, or accommodation providers within the Central Okanagan that do not remit MRDT or DMF.
Through our programs, our members and advertisers gain access to marketing channels that help increase exposure and drive traffic to their businesses. Our programs also connect visitors with local businesses during the planning stages of their trip and once they are in the market.
