NORTHERN BC

Tourism association

Northern BC Tourism Association (NBCTA) works to develop, support, and sustain the tourism sector in northern BC and is one of six regional destination management organizations in the province. NBCTA is a non-profit association led by a board of directors elected by industry, and works collaboratively with the provincial government and Destination BC, a Provincial Crown Corporation, to advance the tourism sector throughout the region. 

NBCTA respectfully acknowledges the Lheidli T'enneh First Nation on whose territory we operate our main office. We further recognize with gratitude that we carry out our work on the lands of Nations throughout the northern BC region. We honour our ongoing relationships with Indigenous Peoples and communities around northern BC, and we commit to continuing to work together.
