New Trend for Tourists as Campsites Disappear

The Sun FM
Shuswap, Skaha and Okanagan lakes could in the future find themselves with a little less tourist activity as visitors begin to shift their stays to smaller lakes in our region. Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association C-E-O Deanna Rainey attributes the trend to many campsites being purchased and developed into condos and high-end tourist attractions, something she says is increasing tourism prices. Rainey adds it's important to provide tourism accomodation in all price ranges as well in order to maintain our competitive edge on many areas around B-C. Marianne McHale- Standard Radio News
