Public input being sought for CVRD’s 10-Year Tourism Strategic Framework

Public input will help shape the next decade of tourism in the Comox Valley through a new engagement process. 

The Comox Valley Regional District’s 10-Year Tourism Strategic Framework is ready for public review after a comprehensive and collaborative planning process. 

Chair of the Comox Valley Tourism Advisory Committee David Rooper said public input will ensure the strategy is robust, reflective of the collective vision, and create a dynamic future. 

“Now is the critical moment for residents and businesses to review what has been proposed and offer their final thoughts.” 

The tourism strategy planning process launched with Experience Comox Valley, the CVRD’s Tourism Service, and 4EVER Strategies engaging with residents, businesses, and community organizations to develop a strategy which aligns with community values, environmental sustainability, economic growth, and cultural preservation. 

Community members are encouraged to view the final draft strategy at Engage Comox Valley’s website, the Comox Valley Visitor Centre, in person at open houses with dates and locations to be determined, or a virtual open house on September 4 at 6:00 p.m. 

CVRD Board Chair Will Cole-Hamilton said they are proud of the collaborative effort put together to get the strategy to this stage. 

“This strategic framework reflects the diverse voices and aspirations of our community, aiming to ensure tourism in the Comox Valley continues to thrive responsibly.” 

The framework addresses key areas such as destination management, sector growth, visitor experience, and community interest. 

The input period closes on September 8.
