Background and Objectives – Program Specific. The Financial Contribution is being made available to the Recipient for Services to support the Destination BC programs set out below in this section. Programs supported by the Financial Contribution will be reassessed annually through the annual integrated planning process, as described in 2.06 (a). The required Projects and Services required to support each Destination BC program area will be developed annually through the RDMO-DBC Program planning process and documented in the annual Regional Operations Plan and any associated Project Charters, as described in 2.06 (b) and (c). All program areas will support the development of Indigenous tourism, as appropriate, in support of Indigenous Tourism BC’s (ITBC) 5-year Strategic Plan and uphold the shared commitments of Destination BC and Indigenous Tourism BC Guiding Principles. During the annual integrated planning process and regularly throughout the year, Destination BC will provide data sharing and invite input and discussion to help the Recipient develop and implement the Regional Operations Plan and inform other activities covered under the Agreement. The annual integrated planning process will provide the Recipient with the opportunity to provide advice, input and feedback on all Destination BC programs, including those not covered under this Agreement such as Research & Analytics, and Destination BC’s Co-operative Marketing Partnerships Program.
