    • The Power of Tourism

The Vancouver, Coast & Mountains tourism region respectfully acknowledges the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations on whose territory we operate our main office. We further recognize with gratitude that we carry out our work on the lands of the 54 Indigenous Nations throughout this region. We honour our ongoing relationships with Indigenous Peoples and Nations, and we commit to continuing to work together.

Uniquely managed by Destination BC, the Vancouver, Coast & Mountains (VCM) tourism region expands outwards from Metro Vancouver along three main arteries: the Sunshine Coast, Sea-to-Sky Corridor, and Fraser Valley and Fraser Canyon, which are anchored by the Fraser River. The region connects to the Gold Rush Trail up the Fraser Canyon, and to the Highway 3 Corridor through Hope and Manning Park.

The Vancouver, Coast & Mountains team connects industry partners with programs and resources available through Destination BC as well as opportunities that are regionally-specific.

Building Back Better

2020 and 2021 have been challenging years for our industry, especially in the Vancouver, Coast & Mountains (VCM) tourism region, as we rely heavily on international visitation. The VCM team, along with many partners, have been working hard to build back better. Together, tremendous accomplishments have been made over the past years, some of which are highlighted in the graphic. All of these combined efforts are assisting us better to collectively move towards recovery. Learn more about Destination Development in Vancouver, Coast & Mountains.
