Re:

|
|
|
Ms. Nancy Small, Executive Director and Mr.
Ed Jaskula, Chair, Tourism Burnaby appeared before Council to
provide an update on their 2015 activities, initiatives and successes.
Tourism Burnaby is dedicated to increasing the number of visitors to the City
of Burnaby and is a Destination Marketing Organization; focused on attracting
sport, meetings and conventions and leisure travelers.
Tourism Burnaby is governed by a
Board of Directors that is comprised of seven local business owners. In 2015,
visitor numbers, average daily rooms rates and hotel occupancy rates
increased over 2014. A total of $993,119 in Municipal and Regional District
Tax (hotel tax) revenue was collected in 2015, representing a 37.5 % increase
from the previous year. Increases in tourism and related activities are
attributed to high profile local events (e.g. FIFA Women’s World Cup, the
Pacific National Rugby Cup, the Pat Quinn Classic Hockey Tournament, etc.) and
the marketing initiatives of Tourism Burnaby, including a website redesign.
Looking ahead to 2016, Tourism
Burnaby is excited for reoccurring and new events, and landmark celebrations
such as Canada’s 150th, the City of Burnaby 125th, and
the Burnaby Art Gallery 50th.
Council expressed its appreciation to
Tourism Burnaby for the interest/energy they generate befitting the Burnaby
business community and residents. Creative initiatives and campaigns
highlight all that Burnaby has to offer to local and international visitors. Council
appreciates Tourism Burnaby’s contribution to the volunteer community and the
strong volunteer base they are helping to create.
