Q10. From your organization’ s perspective, what are the key opportunities to support growth and long-term sustainability?
Building our downhill biking tourism and trying to bolster shoulder season occupancy
Investment we are seeing some hopeful signs but we need much more
Sustainable operating funding from City, Province, Federal governments and other grant sources
Support tax increases to pay for amenities and services or advocate for reduced amenities and services. Creatively contribute and use TF budget to ease the pressures of taxation.( Housing)
more shoulder season events and more animation thoughout the year
Continue to grow tourism in the shoulder seasons, to make Fernie an attractive destination year-round. This has improved tremendously, but I believe still room to grow. Also, I do feel like tacking the number of contractors staying in hotels during the peak seasons, as was brought up recently by the downtown business sector, is an important issue to keep top of mind.
Housing and recreation. Attract investment in community to improve our amenities and a stronger broader visitor experience
Having more amenities in Fernie so people traveling here have indoor and other activities not just expensive ski hill / biking activities
