I know some of you have previously attended the Tourism Industry Association of BC Annual Conference and would attest to what a valuable event it is for the Tourism Industry. Daniella and I always attend and have wished that we could bring some of our stakeholders with us to share in the knowledge we gain. This year the conference has been announced and of course, will be taking place virtually. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to have you join us. We would like to extend an offer for up to 8 of our stakeholders to join the conference and Tourism Langley will cover the cost of your registration. Please review the details below, if you feel attending would be beneficial and you are able to commit to attending the majority of the sessions reply back to this email by Tuesday, March 2nd at 5 pm. If there are more than 8 people interested we will draw 8 names from all those interested.
In other news, you may notice that we are short a photo below. Hailey is moving to Victoria and today is her last day with us. Daniella and I will miss her immensely and wish her all the best.
