Heritage tourism in Banff National Park and region now has a web site! The site was created by the Banff Heritage Tourism Corporation. The Corporation helps business and organization to develop authentic heritage tourism products and programs that are attractive to visitors, but compatible with Banff's place in a UNESCO World Heritage Site and National Park.

This is good news. Can you ask the webmaster of the Banff site to link back to Planeta.com? We'd be happy to establish a link from our Canada Guide.

Also of note is Holly Quan's article "Banff Heritage Tourism Strategy"

ANNOUNCEMENT

Planeta.com Teams Up with Tourism Educators Conference
http://www.planeta.com/planeta/08/0803canada.html

Planeta.com is proud to be a partner of the 2008 Tourism Educators Conference. "We wish the participants the very best," said Planeta.com founder Ron Mader. "We invite those in charge of the event --
http://www.bctli.ca/main/?TEC -- to update the Wiki Event Guide --
http://planeta.wikispaces.com/tourismeducatorsconference -- before, during and after the event. We also encourage all of the participants to use Web 2.0 technologies including Flickr and YouTube to document the discussion. The conference agenda addresses critical topics which deserve to be discussed and acted upon in a timely manner."

Ron Mader added that Planeta.com looks forward to responding to colleagues with international interests in making the most of this event and tourism education in particular. "We are committed to using the Web as means to better educate travelers and policy-makers alike to the many lessons learned around the world," Mader said. Planeta.com has created a series of questions for delegates to respond before arriving in Whistler.

TOURISM EDUCATORS CONFERENCE

The 15th annual Tourism Educators Conference brings together leaders from the tourism industry and education. The event takes place May 8-10 in Whistler, British Columbia.

The conference theme is Taking Action - Global Climate Change and
Tourism/Hospitality Education. The conference is organized by the British Columbia Centre for Tourism Leadership and Innovation (BCTLI), which hosts the Tourism Online Resource Centre.

The event is hosted by Capilano College (Tourism and Outdoor Recreation Programs) with a provincial program planning team from other BC tourism colleges and universities.

A flyer is available online in PDF format
