To quote Glenn Mandziuk, TOTA president and CEO, “This recognition is such an honour as it comes from tourism industry leaders from around the globe and reinforces the association’s commitment to advancing the region as a leader in sustainable responsible tourism. As always, TOTA’s success wouldn’t be possible without the leadership, support, and innovation shown by our Provincial Tourism Ministry, Destination British Columbia, Community Tourism and First Nations partners, and the over 4,500 member industry stakeholders from across the Region.”
The Thompson Okanagan Region is fast getting popular due to its collective work to strive to grow up the tourism sector in a way that respects its social, cultural, environmental, and economic foundations.
“We have such a great team of professionals at TOTA. From the Board and Staff to contractors and agency partners who are a huge part of this and a true reflection of their strong efforts. Further, to be recognized back to back in successive years is truly special for us all,” noted Mandziuk.
The award was declared at the 2019 Caribbean & North America Gala Ceremony organized in Jamaica on January 28. World Travel Awards™ was set up in 1993 to recognize, reward and celebrate excellence in all the key sectors of the travel, tourism and hospitality industries.
