IMPACT Sustainability Travel & Tourism 2020

There’s a shift happening towards sustainability in the tourism and travel industry. Join a collaborative national dialogue on innovation and the contribution of tourism to Canada’s sustainable future at the IMPACT Conference. Hosted in Victoria, B.C., January 19-22, IMPACT 2020 will explore how Canadian tourism can move beyond sustainability towards being a regenerative and restorative industry. If you work in tourism, design policies that affect tourism, teach tourism, care about tourism’s impact on communities and Canadians, or see the growth of tourism in Canada as a key economic driver – IMPACT is for you!

The third annual IMPACT Conference promises to build on fruitful conversations and explore new topics by diving deeper into solutions and opportunities that will help shape the future of Canada’s tourism legacy.

Plaidswede Publishing Announces New Series by Mark Okrant

A new series of tourism-based murder mysteries written by Mark Okrant (past-president of TTRA) has been announced by Plaidswede Publishing. Mark’s new Commissioner Kary Turnell Series uses a 100-plus page format to acquaint or re-familiarize residents and visitors with New Hampshire’s most beautiful, interesting places. The new series builds upon Mark’s full-length Kary Turnell Mysteries. In an innovative approach, there will be a Kary Turnell Mystery Tour whose intention is to provide an exciting new reason for people to visit New Hampshire and experience much of what the state has to offer.

The first two books in the new series were recently released. One Track Mind is set on Mount Washington’s Cog Railway and at two venues in North Conway. Book two is A Thief in the House. It is set in the New Hampshire State House, the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center, and on the Beaver Meadow Golf Course in Concord. Four other titles are expected during 2020.
