Accessible & Inclusive Tourism
TOTA is committed to becoming a world-renowned accessible tourism destination and to promoting “Access & Inclusion” in all aspects of community and tourism experiences, products, and services in the Thompson Okanagan region.
Access & Inclusion = Everyone
Experiences that are inclusive and accessible provide equal opportunity and participation for everyone - regardless of age, ability, size, gender, or culture. Living, working, playing, and travelling with and alongside family and friends is an essential piece to everyone’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Travelling together nurtures a sense of belonging and understanding for everyone involved.
In line with and inspired by the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and with a focus on Goal #9 - Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, Goal #10 - Reduced Inequalities, and Goal #11 - Sustainable Cities & Communities, TOTA has embarked on the journey of making this beautiful region more accessible to all people.
