Just as Destination Marketing (and Leadership) Organizations are evolving, so too is the philosophy of Visitor Information Centers. On this episode of DMOU, we catch up with Chris Lewis, Director of Destination Development with Tourism Kelowna. In this fascinating conversation, you'll hear how Tourism Kelowna reimagined the Visitor Center concept into a "community hub," how they almost lost their "Social License" (but quickly regained it)...as well as one of the more interesting "first job" stories in over 100 episodes of the Bonus Round.
