Their primary mandate is to increase awareness through sales and marketing initiatives and to provide excellent visitor experience and stakeholder services. Their ultimate goal is to ensure Richmond and their community benefit from a thriving visitor economy.

Tourism Richmond wants to inspire their visitors and community to join them in building a tourism sector that has a profoundly positive, dynamic, and regenerative impact in Richmond. The visitor economy can be a beacon for beneficial change — and they aim to be a pioneer in this future-thinking transformation.

Tourism Richmond joined the BC Green Business Program which has helped them adopt sustainable workplace practices and granted them Gold Certification. Separately, they have also undertaken an internal carbon audit with Synergy Enterprises. They are directly addressing the challenges of carbon neutrality and working on solutions to improve their carbon usage through best business practices.

Tourism Richmond is committed to building a visitor economy that benefits the community on every level. They aim to ensure regenerative tourism has the maximum positive impact throughout the city, they are also dedicated to helping local businesses and organizations that want to participate in this dynamic new approach. In response to this, they have created the Regenerative Tourism Grant Program, designed to support the growth of sustainable initiatives in Richmond. This program aims to provide financial assistance to Tourism Richmond Stakeholders for implementing regenerative programs and/or actions in their businesses.
