Tourism Kamloops cautiously optimistic local tourism sector will be able to manage post-vaccination traffic
KAMLOOPS – Kamloops expects to be ready for a bounce back in tourism when the COVID-19 pandemic recedes.
Scotiabank Chief Economist Jean-Francois Perrault said in an interview that B.C.’s tourism industry is poised for a strong recovery after COVID-19 vaccines become widespread.
However, Perrault noted the province’s tourism industry may not be able to match the demand once leisure travel across the country is safe.
In Kamloops, the loss of labour force amidst the COVID-19 pandemic provides a legitimate challenge post-vaccination.
