Consultation has concluded
Latest News
City Council is considering approval of the submission of the draft 2022-2024 Resort Development Strategy (RDS) to the Ministry for input into the scope and proposed outcomes of the Strategy at a high level. During this period, staff are seeking input form the community, Indigenous partners and the tourism sector to ensure that the final RDS will:
identify the needs and interests of a diverse tourism sector,
reflect best practices used by other Resort Municipalities,
respond to challenges facing the tourism sector in our community,
align projects and activities with the community’s overall development goals,
build consensus among local tourism stakeholders, and
develop an updated Resort Development Strategy that reflects the new mandate and scope of the Resort Municipality Initiative.
Upon completion of the engagement process and receipt of input from the Ministry the final draft of the updated Resort Development Strategy will be reviewed by the TIC and then brought to Council for final approval which will enable the Ministry to enter into a Contribution Agreement with the City. At that point staff and TIC members can move forwards with approving the allocation of funds to prioritized projects, events and services using the application process developed in the last RDS.
Background
The City of Revelstoke, one of fourteen communities designated as a Resort Municipality, is required to submit a draft Resort Development Strategy (RDS) for the period 2022 to 2024 in accordance with the new program guidelines provided by the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture.
What is the Resort Development Strategy?
Revelstoke is one of fourteen designated Resort Municipalities in the Province of British Columbia. As part of this designation, Revelstoke has received funding through a Resort Municipality Initiative (RMI) since 2008 to support the development of tourism infrastructure and tourism projects. In order to access the RMI funding the City of Revelstoke needs to have a current Resort Development Strategy (RDS) that covers the period of funding. The latest RDS is set to expire this spring and with the announcement of a third period of funding from 2019-2021 Revelstoke must develop and submit an updated RDS.
An RDS is essentially a document that outlines the community vision and goals for tourism as well as the projects that will be funded by the RMI program to support provincial tourism outcomes. These outcomes include:
Extend or diversify the community’s tourism season
Increase visitation
Improve the sustainability of the tourism sector
Enhance the visitor experience
