Events help fill shoulder and off-peak seasons, providing consistent business for hotels, restaurants, and local services.
Increased Visibility
Hosting high-profile events elevates Penticton’s reputation as a professional, capable, and welcoming destination.

Delegates explore the City while they’re here. They dine in local restaurants, visit wineries and breweries, and book experiences.

Meetings generate employment in tourism, hospitality, food services, event production, and transportation.
