Recent flooding in B.C. compounded losses to the tourism industry caused by wildfires this summer, and also the lingering impacts of COVID-19

Parts of British Columbia’s tourism industry are facing another uphill battle with an uncertain recovery horizon after this year’s damaging storms.

BC Parks said several parks in the Fraser Valley were damaged in the storms, including Cultus Lake, Sasquatch and Golden Ears provincial parks. Wilson asked the public to use caution when accessing trail systems after the storms and avoid parks that are closed. The company is encouraging Lower Mainland residents to travel via the United States, but Ballingall said he feels for those who are facing more severe personal consequences than his industry.

“We understand business as normal is not going to happen this Christmas and we just hope people are recovering. There’s so much loss out there,” Ballingall added.
