Stakeholder Registration

Since April 1, 2009, the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association (TOTA) has been  operating under the "Stakeholder" model – no longer requiring paid membership.

The intent of the Stakeholder Model is for TOTA to embrace all tourism industry participants in the region by considering them as stakeholders, without a requirement to pay membership fees. By removing the fee structure the association will accomplish two significant goals:

TOTA will be able to fully represent the breadth of tourism product available in the region to the consumer, and Participation in the Tourism Partner co-op programs with Tourism BC will be available to all qualified industry partners (tourism businesses & operators) in the region. Programs include a variety of co-operative marketing and advertising opportunities throughout the year including consumer shows; print advertising, online, radio and television campaigns.
