ABLE BC Session Spotlight:
Liquor Cannabis and Regulation Branch Update
BC's liquor industry has seen several updates and upsets in the past year. One of the most exciting updates is the welcoming of a new General Manager to the Liquor Cannabis and Regulation Branch, David Hume. Join David and ABLE's Executive Director Jeff Guignard for a discussion on the latest insights into BC's liquor industry. This is your chance to speak directly with industry's regulator. Learn firsthand about the LCRB, priorities for the coming year, and what to expect for your business.
BCHA Session Spotlight:
Going Green with a Growing Market, sponsored by FortisBC
According to a Sustainable Travel Report released by Booking.com, 87% of global travellers say that they want to travel sustainably. How can BC's hospitality industry tap into this growing market? And aside from rising occupancy rates, what are the added benefits of doing so? What does sustainable destination development mean and how can we contribute to it? Join Angela Nagy, President & CEO, GreenStep Solutions; Gwendal Castellan, Destination Vancouver Team Member Manager, Sustainable Destination Development; and Mike Macleod, Director, Member & Business Development, BCHA, for a conversation outlining the opportunities (and cost-savings!) that lay ahead for BC's hospitality operators as we set our sight on sustainable destination development.
