2010 - 2011 Business Plan

AtBC is committed to its core activities as a Regional Tourism Association representing all Aboriginal Tourism businesses. With the commitment by the provincial and federal government to fund the first phase of the Blueprint Strategy, and TBC’s continued support in implementing the Blueprint, AtBC’s role as a support organization for the growing Aboriginal tourism sector becomes even more significant both from an operational (core) and marketing/development perspective. AtBC will finalize the 3 remaining items in the Sustainability Plan and will work towards completion of the third year of the Blueprint implementation.

2010 Winter and Paralympic Games - Final Report

The Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games was a once in a lifetime opportunity for Aboriginal cultural tourism to be featured on the world stage. The AtBC media campaign during the 2010 winter games was targeted to local, national, international and travel media. Travel media relations is one of the best ways to maximize AtBC’s promotional efforts. During the games, AtBC partnered with Ministry of Tourism (MTCA), Tourism BC (TBC) and the Canadian Tourism Commission (CTC) for the greatest media exposure and the leveraging of resources. It was an important partnership because MTCA, TBC and CTC had already made close ties with key media covering stories that were not directly related to sports.

Operations Report Jan 2009 - March 2010

The Aboriginal Tourism Association of British Columbia (AtBC) has experienced tremendous growth in 2009/10 reaching a new and exciting level in the realm of tourism recognition both in the province of BC and globally. In February 2009 the Board of Directors identified two major corporate priorities leading up to the 2010 games. The first was to increase the effectiveness of the Blueprint Strategy implementation and the second was the 2010 Olympic/Paralympics marketing for AtBC members. With this focus AtBC has achieved a number of major milestones as an organization. With now over 60 export-ready Aboriginal tourism products, the organization has achieved what no other province in Canada has done, and remains the leader of Aboriginal Cultural tourism development in Canada.
