Kamloops tourism industry stays hot in the summer
KAMLOOPS — 2016 has been a fantastic year for tourism in Kamloops.
Tourism Kamloops CEO Beverley DeSantis says the local tourism industry is experiencing a visitor boom, and an increase in accommodation revenues.
“We’re up 18 per cent overall, year-to-date, with record months in February, April, May and June, (and an) overall visitor increase of 36 per cent,” DeSantis said. “We’re seeing an uplift from Alberta, British Columbia, the rest of Canada pretty much, and over into Europe, so this is good news for us.”
