We’re thrilled to share that Edmonton is now the first & only Canadian destination to obtain the Destination Global Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC) STAR™ Accreditation! From touchdown to takeoff, #ExploreEdmonton - safely. https://t.co/1BIQiet1yN
In Alberta, 10% of jobs are linked to tourism. Sport events, conventions, festivals, our food & arts scene, museums, river valley & access to the mountains are what makes #YEG pop and enhances our quality of life. #TourismCounts! Find out why: https://t.co/8sRWSKzg9D #TourismWeek
"I'm here to stand up to this behaviour... I'm proud of where I come from. I'm proud to be from Ochapowace First Nation. I'm not just doing this for myself. I'm doing this for all people of colour & for the next generation."
Ethan Bear's statement in response to racist comments.
The things we love about Edmonton, and the people behind them, are struggling. In 2019, #YEG welcomed 6M visitors, spending nearly $2B. This year, we lost thousands of jobs tied to tourism. Until the world can come back, we must support the stuff we❤️. #TourismCounts#TourismWeek
If Canadians shift two-thirds of their planned spend on intl. travel towards Canada, it will make up for the $19B shortfall facing our sector, sustain jobs & accelerate recovery. Pledge to travel in Canada, when restrictions lift.
We're proud to be working with @ExploreEdmCo@FlyEIA@RogersPlace and EDMH hotels across Edmonton to be the FIRST Canadian destination with the city-wide @ISSAworldwide GBAC Accreditation. Learn more via @HQGlobalMag 👉 https://t.co/SRZT8eLis2
The pursuit of a city-wide GBAC Accreditation will position Edmonton among the healthiest and safest destinations for business and leisure travel in North America.
