Biosphere Certified Gold Destination
Through TOTA, the Thompson Okanagan region is a Biosphere Certified Gold Destination.
On November 2, 2017, the Thompson Okanagan region was officially certified as the first destination in the Americas to have successfully achieved the Biosphere Tourism Destination Certification from the Responsible Tourism Institute.
Biosphere Destination is the distinction that recognises the efforts made by a destination in its public tourism policies, as aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals through an action plan for continuous improvement.
A Biosphere Certified Gold Destination moves sustainability forward by encouraging the business community to make sustainable efforts, communicating with the business community, and having access to real-time information on the global state of sustainability of the destination and its business community.
