New app to engage tourists with history, culture, environment of Revelstoke

A new app called Re:BC recently launched presenting regenerative tourism opportunities in British Columbia and Revelstoke is part of the early list of locations.

The app launched Monday, March 18, and so far, it has three different locations offering regenerative initiatives. The locations include Parksville Qualicum Beach, Squamish, and Revelstoke, but the group continues to reach out to different tourism organizations to expand the options. Currently, the app offers several educational courses, which are rewarded by the app with a free pair of Woolies socks from Victoria-based clothier, Ecologyst.

“When people are visiting communities, often they don’t really know some of the ways that they’re having a negative impact. So, by trying to educate people about the community that they’re going to be visiting, the culture, the different communities, the different environmental concerns in that region, we’re hoping that people will make good choices,” she said.
