Destination BC - Sea to Sky Destination Management Council
The Sea-to-Sky Corridor is experiencing growing challenges from increased tourism and recreation, leading to issues like irresponsible land use, strain on search and rescue teams, and overcrowding. In response, the "Don’t Love It to Death" campaign was launched to encourage responsible recreation and sustainable access. This session will highlight the campaign’s impact and explore how similar strategies can support the snowmobiling community.
