BC Parks Tourism Tenuring Initiative:
Tourism Industry-ENGO Working Group Recommendations On Park Use Permits

The Adventure Tourism Joint Steering Committee, which includes representatives of the Ministry of Tourism Sport and the Arts (Tourism and Resort Development Division), the Ministry of Environment (BC Parks), and the Adventure Tourism Sector has been engaged since early 2006 in discussions directed at harmonizing Adventure Tourism tenures (issued in relation to crown land) and Park Use Permits (issued in relation to parks). These discussions have encompassed a wide range of issues including tenure terms, multi-tenures, education interests, liability insurance etc.

Commencing with their first meeting January 8, 2007, the Adventure Tourism Sector and the ENGO Sector have met a total of five times to discuss these issues and to develop their recommendations.
