Victoria has been consistently ranked among the best cities in the world, most recently earning #1 City in the World by Condé Nast Traveller Readers' Choice Awards and #2 Favourite City in Canada by Travel + Leisure Readers. The city’s reputation as a community of leaders in future technologies also provides a strong business case for bringing a program to Victoria. The City of Victoria has already taken important steps to meet our emissions reduction targets, improve organic waste management, and build a resilient community through the implementation of the Climate Leadership Plan. We are home to North America’s first carbon-neutral airline, British Columbia’s first carbon-neutral hotel as well as becoming the first carbon-neutral Destination Management Organization in North America. Recently, Destination Greater Victoria was named a leading sustainable destination within North America through the Global Destination Sustainability-Index, one of the world’s leading sustainability performance programs for business events tourism destinations. Your attendees will be rejuvenated by Victoria’s fresh ocean air, inspired by year-round natural beauty and a warm island welcome, and delight in knowing that their meeting is being held in a destination that is committed to making its community sustainable for future generations. After all, without the destination, it’s just another meeting!
