Destination BC is born Far more than a remake of Tourism BC, task force chair Dave Butler says C AROLYN GR ANT bulletin@cyberlink.ca

What could be more fun than hanging out at the firehall all day? Two lucky Kimberley students won Fire Chief For a Day honours last week.

What’s in a name? Premier Christy Clark announced this week that a new Crown corporation to market British Columbia as a tourist destination has been created — Destination B.C. But Columbia River - Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald (NDP) says that it is simply Tourism BC reborn, by the same BC Liberals who scrapped it three years ago. At the time, Gordon Campbell was Premier and Tourism BC was folded into the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Arts in order to reduce administrative costs,
allow for better co-ordination of marketing initiatives and make it easier to ensure the entire province benefits from the 2010 Olympic Games. That certainly didn’t happen, Macdonald says. “Marketing that should have been done wasn’t done,” he said. “Destination BC is the same thing as Tourism BC. They’ve gone back to it after realizing that folding it was a mistake.” Premier Clark told CBC News that she wasn’t in office, but disagreed with the move at the time. However, Dave Butler of Cranbrook, who is chair of the Tourism Industry of BC Provincial Destination Marketing Organization Task Force, which worked on developing Destination BC for 15 months, says the new Crown corporation has some significant differences from Tourism BC.
