III. Read the text. In small groups discuss and make a list of the reasons people work in BC tourism.
Reason #1: “The tourism industry encourages diversity of people ages and backgrounds to come from all countries. It acts as a conduit for experienced people to learn new things from different backgrounds and encourages locals to share their experiences with others. I feel blessed that I was given the opportunity to act as a tour guide and show visitors from all over the world our beautiful province.” – Gordon C., tour guide in Vancouver
Reason #2: “It allows me to experience and appreciate what I have in my own backyard! Not only that, I get to host people from other countries and show them how nice and Canadian we are!” – Madison M., hotel on Vancouver Island Reason #3: “You don’t often forget about the memories you make while on vacation! To be able to inspire people to visit destinations across Canada is incredibly special. To be able to create those memories for travellers while there here, is a special privilege.” – Liz S., hotel in Vancouver
Reason #4: “I get to share my passion for my destination with visitors from around the world. I get to meet people from other destinations and learn about their trip and helping make their visit a memorable one. I love that the industry is a family – everyone helps each other out in order to make sure the visitors have the best stay possible. I also get to experience and recommend amazing businesses in my community and help them succeed.” – Megan T., destination marketing organization in Victoria
Reason #5: “The tourism and hospitality industry fosters so much growth! It is the kind of industry where you can get your start on the front line, and then move horizontally or vertically across a variety of companies. There is always something new to learn and the people in this industry are very open to sharing knowledge and working together to better the industry.” – Brittany B., HR Coordinator for a resort in Brentwood Bay
Reason #6: “One reason I love working in the tourism industry is showcasing my knowledge about our unique landscapes, culture and the wildlife we have in our beautiful province to the tourist. My favourite part of my job is telling tourist what the destination has to offer and then coming back telling how great their experience was. Hearing their experience that they had makes my heart truly happy.” – Angela G., visitor centre in Terrace
Reason #7: “We have an incredible story to tell. When I tell stories about Fort Langley and people are able to connect those stories to their present lives, I see a spark in their eyes. All of a sudden, they feel connected to history and want to

know more. When someone shows an interest in our history this gets me incredibly excited. I want people to feel like they can really understand British Columbia and why it exists as a province. When they have this information and it really clicks with them, I believe it’s what allows them to really feel a connection to this beautiful place.” – Taylor S., heritage interpreter in Langley
IV. In small groups present the reasons to love working in tourism in Russia.
