Beyond Pender: What is Cultural Tourism in Chinatown?
via Heritage Vancouver & partners:
Vancouver’s Chinatown is one of the most unique neighbourhoods in the city and is rich in its cultural heritage. Join us for a conversation on how we can create deeper cultural experiences for visitors and tourists, as the City & Province commit to a UNESCO nomination.
We have invited representatives from Indigenous Tourism BC and Tourism Vancouver to share their experience and insights. We will explore examples of cultural tourism, why it is gaining momentum as a strategy for sustainable community building, and why it is relevant to Chinatown.
You will not want to miss this Beyond Pender session if you are:
- a person who is passionate about Chinatown and its future
- a student or professional studying or practicing tourism
- a business/tourism operator seeking innovation and growth
- community organizer or planner looking for holistic strategies
The event will take place at the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden. Light refreshments will be provided. Register soon as seating goes quickly!
