Nelson: New tourism plan stresses communication
Cooperation is key in a new cultural tourism plan for Nelson, Kaslo and Areas D, E and F.
Nelson cultural development officer Joy Barrett says the new strategy aims to attract new visitors to the region’s artistic and cultural attractions, and also encourage visitors to continue exploring the area after major events have ended.
“If they’re coming to Kaslo for the Jazz Fest, how can we get them to come down to Nelson, rather than going to Kaslo for a couple days then going back where they’re coming from?” she says.
“The more time that people spend here, the more money they will spend, and that’s going to be a good thing. Not only for the artists, but also for the residents and the businesses.”
