1. Introduction
1.1. Purpose
The Resort Municipality Initiative (RMI) is an outcome based program, therefore the purpose of this report is to report on outcomes resulting from term one (2007-2011) and term two (2012 to 2016) of the program, while highlighting the most recent year of progress. The RMI annual reporting further provides accountability of funding, demonstrates project progress, allows for outcomes to be tracked, provides consolidated information for other community reporting needs (tourism stakeholders, municipal staff, Council, public, for grant applications, etc.), provides a source for the Province to consolidate all participating RMI communities data into one program report to use for reporting requirements.
1.2. Overall Summary
During 2012, Revelstoke saw very positive growth in tourism revenues for local accommodation properties. Revenues, as reflected by the funds received through the Resort Municipality Initiative, increased by 17% from 2011 to 2012. In addition to strong growth during the winter months, Revelstoke also recorded the highest hotel room revenues ever recorded for 6 of the 12 months of the year.
We believe the increasing tourism numbers are due to excellent marketing on behalf of the local DMO and other community partners, and the development of enhanced tourism infrastructure in the community which has made Revelstoke more attractive as a tourism destination. For example, we are seeing strong growth in the number of visitors coming to Revelstoke to mountain bike on the new trails that have been developed around the community and to enjoy two new lodge facilities developed on the snowmobile trails.
In terms of advertising, Revelstoke received extensive media coverage as a ski destination in both Europe and North America by hosting the world freestyle skiing tour for the third year in a row at Revelstoke Mountain Resort. This tour now includes both competitors from the European tour and the North American tour, and is sponsored by Swatch.
Major tourism infrastructure projects completed during 2012 included the completion of a new snowmobile lodge at Frisby Ridge, the completion of two new pieces of public art, and the construction of a new mountain bike trail at Mount MacPherson.

2. Tourism Operating Environment
2.1. Provincial & Global Tourism Context
Understanding the provincial and global tourism context provides insight to how they may influence at the local and regional level and to the overall progress of the RMI Resort Development Strategy.
The following table provides a summary of the provincial and global tourism influences for the report year and from the start year of the RMI program to the current report year. All changes are based on year-to-year results unless noted otherwise.

After a few years of fluctuating growth trends, 2012 international 2-1: Entries to BC 2000-2011, BC Stats overnight travel to Canada emerged slightly ahead (1.8%) of 2011, and upwards from 2009. International visits from the US, lead the way over 2011 by increasing by over 200,000 travelers and 'emerging' China also contributed to the increase by bringing in roughly 40,000 additional travelers. Other markets such as Australia, Mexico, Japan and India contributed somewhat to the increase. At the same time, significant 'core' markets such as the UK, France and Germany recorded fewervisitors. 1
In BC, visitation levels increased 1.2% compared to 2011 to 4.2 million trips, but remained lower than 2010 levels and closer to 2009 pre-Olympic games levels. The increase from 2011 to 2012 was observed in both US and other international markets with US markets and Other Countries increasing 1% and 2.0% from 2011 to 2012 respectivell. Despite the small increase in visitation levels from BC's largest market the US have declined significantly since 2000, see figure 2-1.
The year 2012 ended with the eighth increase in tourism spending in Canada since 2004 (2009 reported a decrease of 5%). Compared to 2011, spending is up 4%, which is lower than the 7% annual growth realized in both 2010 and 2011. The increase was reported across all expenditure categories such as accommodation etc., with decrease realized in just passenger rail and interurban bus transportation categories.3 In BC, overall accommodation room revenue as estimated based on the Provincial MRDT results show a 1.3% rise from 2011 to 2012.
General economic trends in 2012 showing a continuing recovery from the 2008 recession boosting the likelihood of travel somewhat, but not in a major way. This trend is in contrast to 2008 and 2009 where economic conditions were not very conducive to tourism growth. Gas prices stabilized somewhat and continued a slight 10 year upward trend, but not quite to the high levels in 2008. Canada's dollar in 2012 played a lesser role in reducing Canada's price competitiveness compared to other destinations remained similar to 2011 as the dollar stabilized in 2012 against most the world's currencies, except for Japan and Australia where the Canadian dollar decreased in value. A cheaper dollar generally makes Canada and BC more affordable, in this case to some overseas markets. The dollar remained at parity with the US dollar for more than three years, which may make it the new norm and not adding to any further downward pressure on tourism growth.

2012 Factors Supporting Tourism in BC --...IL---
2012 Factors Hindering Tourism in BC
• Destination markets, including the US, the UK, Germany, Australia and the Eurozone, managed to gain marginal growth in Real GOP in 2011. Overall, the OECD forecasted the global growth to be 3.4% in 2012.
• A slightly cheaper canadian dollar especially to visitors from Japan and Australia.
• Australians avoided Japan in winter 2011/12 due to lingering concerns over the 2011 tsunami and radiation threats.
• The Canadian government's recent efforts to ease the visa application process for emerging markets should point to continuing growth of these markets.
• In summer 2012, the recovering global economy and travel demand, favourable weather conditions,
• Recovering leisure travel demand as the global economy slowly recovers.
• For winter travelers, BC offered some of the best ski conditions on the continent as other key destinations suffered from limited snow.
• According to the OECD's latest economic outlook, the global economy is likely to stay on the path of recovery, but the recovery is fragile and could be easily derailed by the crisis in the euro area.
• The Conference Board forecasted the global economic growth to slow down to 3.2% in 2012.
• The sluggish recovery hampered tourism growth. In particular the economic climate in the US and Europe, combined with the strong Canadian dollar, have dampened the outlook for visitation from several key markets.
• In contrast to the growth in other key international markets, room nights from the US market remained well below the average of the last ten years.
• A lack of clarity regarding the GST rebate process and complicated reporting rules have caused much frustration and resulted in long process times.
• Currently the cost of air travel to and within Canada is significantly higher when compared to global tourism competitors, especially the US.
• Canada's resources for international tourism marketing will decrease from $72 million in 2011 to $58 million in 2014, continuing the steady decline from $99 million in 2001. Most competitors are increasing their already larger investments.
• The visa process for potential tourists from Mexico, Brazil, China and India is onerous and unpredictable, and Is limiting Canada's ability to maximize opportunities in these markets at a time when demand is increasing. (Data compiled by Tourism Whistler, summarized by Whistler Centre)

downturn for countries such as Mexico and South
Korea which had been showing strong growth in
overnight visitation to British Columbia;

3. Project Progress
3.1. Resort Municipality Initiative (RMI) Context
Revelstoke has participated in the RMI program since 2008. Although the RMI program is ongoing, it is broken up into two terms: term 1: 2007 to 2011 and term 2: 2012 to 2016, and each term requires the completion of a Resort Development Strategy (RDS). The RDS identifies the community's vision, goals, and projects in support of RMI program objectives for the five-year term. Some projects do not result in immediate outcomes, but rather support the necessary long-term investment attraction efforts that build over time. It is important to also keep in mind the global, provincial, regional and local tourism operating environment that was mentioned in section 2, when looking at the RDS progress and project outcomes.
The program initially started off as a tax transfer program, but since July 1, 2010, funding is provided annually through a transfer under agreement (TUA). Each TUA lists projects and the funding that will be allocated to each project.
3.2. Resort Development Strategy Vision
Revelstoke underwent a visioning process in the early 1990s and the following Vision Statement was adopted by Revelstoke City Council on May 10, 1994:
Revelstoke will be a leader in achieving a sustainable community by balancing environmental, social and economic values within a local, regional and global context.
Building on its rich heritage and natural beauty this historic mountain community will pursue quality and excellence. Revelstoke is seen as vibrant, healthy, clean, hospitable, resilient and forward thinking. It will be committed to exercising its rights with respect to decisions affecting the North Columbia Mountain region.
Community priorities include: opportunities for youth; economic growth and stability; environmental citizenship; personal safety and security; a responsible and caring social support system; a first-class education system and local access to life-long learning; spiritual and cultural values, and diverse forms of recreation.
All residents and visitors shall have access to the opportunities afforded by this community.
The Revelstoke Tourism Development Strategy {2003} identified the following objectives:
• Achievement of a sustainable economy in keeping with the community's Vision Statement • Promotion of tourism growth and development to ensure economic stability • Enhancement of the growing tourism and recreation sector • Diversification of the lacal economy and the creation of job opportunities
3.3. Resort Development Strategy (RDS) Goals
The table below lists the term 2: 2012-2016 RDS goals, which build upon the previous RDS goals that were identified during the RDS that was initiated in 2008. The table gives a high level understanding the progress of RDS goals.
Each report year, progress of the RDS is reviewed with stakeholders to understand progress, as well as determining if goals and projects are still in alignment with the overall RDS vision. Outcome results from sections 3.4, 3.5 and

3.6 in this report provide helpful insight to progress. It is understood that projects will not result in immediate outcomes, but rather support RDS goals over time. Reviewing these goals allows the RDS to be adjusted if needed.

d) Increasing employment in the tourism sector by 10% X

f) Increase visitation to the Visitor Information Centre X by 10%
3.4. Project Progress
The following section demonstrates project progress. The financial details of projects can be found in Appendix 1.
RMI funding is provided annually and funding is expected to be allocated two calendar years after receiving funding. As term 1, covers RMI funding received from 2007 to 2011 and term 2, covers funding received from 2012 to 2013, funding will need to be reported until funding is allocated from both of those terms or up to two years after the term. For example, if term 1 funding was spent on projects in 2012, the funding and project progress will have to be reported for that year. As RM I is an ongoing program, some projects overlap the two terms. Therefore some projects may fall under:
• Term 1 only; and/or
• Both term 1 and 2; and/or
• Identified in Term 2 only.
To report has been broken up into the three terms to reflect projects that may fall under one of these three scenarios.
3.4.1. Projects in Term 1 (Funding received during 2007 to 2011) Only
This section identifies projects that received funding during term 1: 2007 to 2011, and where funding was spent during the current reporting year.

Project Title New Visitor Information Centre
Project description To construct a new Visitor Information Centre which will operate on a year round basis.
Project rationale For the past five years, the Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce has operated two
Visitor Information Centres {VICs) in the community. One VIC is a summer
operation under a partnership arrangement with the Canadian Avalanche Centre
which has expired. The other VIC is located in the Chamber of Commerce office on Campbell Avenue. This is an expensive undertaking for a small organization. The
main function of the VIC is to let tourists know about the variety of accommodations, restaurants, businesses and attractions that exist in Revelstoke
and area, which encourages visitors to extend their stay in the community. These
operations provide direct benefits to the Revelstoke business community and to the development of Revelstoke's tourism industry. Since 2007, visits to these
centres have incre.ased approximately. 250%. Both these centres are now too small
to accommodate the increasing·number of visitors. As tourism grows as an important sector for the local economy, there is demand from both the industry
and tourists for a dedicated, year-rround VIC to better serve tne needs of tourists.

Project Title Eastern Access Improvements
Project description Upgrade the entrance point to Revelstoke entering the community from the east and make the first point of entry more attractive for visitors to encourage more visitors to stop in the community.
Project rationale Currently, many visitors are not aware that there is a road entry to Revelstoke from the east. As a result, potential tourists often by-pass the community rather than drive in to visit. A more attractive and accessible entry point to the community from the east will help bring more visitors into our attractive downtown area, and increase visitation to Revelstoke.

3.5. Visitor Experience Outcomes The data in this section is collected by both the resort community or local Destination Marketing Organization, and the Whistler Centre for Sustainability (WCS}. Positive visitor experience outcomes create a strong foundation to support longer term economic outcomes. Visitor experience outcomes are more influenced by local factors and projects, and are therefore more sensitive to displaying year-to-year trends compared to other outcome reporting.
3.5.1. Summary of Visitor Experience Outcomes
We continue to receive feed back from tourists that they are very happy with the visitor experience in Revelstoke. The results from our annual visitor survey undertaken in the summer indicate that visitors have a high level of satisfaction with the community, believe they are getting good value for money spent, and most commonly describe the community as "beautiful", "friendly" and "clean". Visitors also comment on the beautiful downtown and their enjoyment of the free concerts in the downtown plaza every evening during the summer months.
The continued growth of the number of winter tourists for alpine skiing, snowmobiling, heliskiing and Nordic skiing attest to the satisfaction visitors have participating in those activities in Revelstoke. A winter survey of snowmobile visitors taken during the 2011-12 season indicated a high level of satisfaction with the visitor experience in the area.

3.5.2. Outcome Reporting
Visitor Satisfaction Visitor satisfaction with their overall experience in a community essential for ensuring long-term tourism growth. Capturing perceived experience reveals visitor's feelings about their entire trip from start to finish and influences whether the visitor will return and promote the resort community via word of mouth.

Visitor Promotion Visitor promotion scores reflect the net volume of past visitors promoting the community as a place to visit as well as the overall visitor experience. The majority of first time visitors select a travel destination based on these word of mouth references and so promoting a destination through word of mouth increases the likelihood of future visitation by others.

Length of Stay Average length of stay (ALS) is an important economic indicator because additional hours spent in the resort lead to greater contribution per visitor to the local economy. It is also an indication that visitors are finding enough to do or not do in a community. Longer stays generally reduce tourisms negative t ransportation impacts (per night stayed).

• lnvermere recorded the greatest number of days in 2012 at 4.6, with Golden recording the fewest days at 1.55.
The data in this section is collected by both the resort communities and the Whistler Centre for Sustainability (WCS) and is reported by the Whistler Centre for Sustainability for this year. While specific projects can impact these results, the results in this area only show trends over time and should be considered as a long-term results of investments in infrastructure, projects and programs.
3.6.1. Section Summary
The economic outcomes for the community related to the tourism sector were very positive during 2012. As can be seen by the charts below, hotel room revenues increased by 17% over the previous year, which was the largest per cent increase of any of the BC Resort Communities. This means there are more tourists visiting the community with resultant benefits to the local economy, including greater expenditures in restaurants, bars and some retail stores. This increased visitation to Revelstoke also results in increased employment opportunities in the service sector and related businesses, which is positive for the local economy.
Our business license numbers also remain high, with more businesses being established to service the growing number of tourists. Again, this is a positive trend for the local economy.
We also are seeing construction activities that are related to tourism activity. This includes the construction of new houses in the vicinity of the base of the ski hill, a new boutique lodge, and upgrades/expansions of local accommodation properties. A new upscale hostel is also planned to open in 2013. This activity generates and/or maintains construction employment in the community.

Accommodation Sector Performance Accommodation sector performance provides an indication of the size and health of overall tourism economy (more specifically the accommodation sector), by tracking changes in room revenue or room nights sold. Overnight visitors to the communities tend to participate in more experiences than day visitors, and the additional hours spent in the resort result in increased spending patterns and greater contributions per visitor to the local economy. Considering the variation in this indicator throughout the year provides a window into the community's success at growing tourism throughout four seasons.

Community Outcomes Supporting Tourism Development The data in this section is collected by both the resort communities and the Whistler Centre for Sustainability (WCS) and is reported by the Whistler Centre for Sustainability for this year. Results in this area generally create a positive foundation to support a positive visitor experience and economic outcomes. Results in this area likely show trends over time and should be looked at as a long term result of other work.
3.7.1. Section Summary
The resident population of Revelstoke has reported that they continue to feel a strong sense of belonging to the community. The majority of the population has welcomed the new residents who have moved here as a result of resort development, and who are providing new and interesting ideas to help the community deal with change. Most residents are also welcoming of the growing number of tourists who are visiting Revelstoke. Tourists continue to comment that Revelstoke is a "friendly" community.
The community has had some challenges with the affordability of housing and the purchase and rental of second homes by non-residents. These are common issues faced by resort communities, and the community is working on addressing these challenges.
Revelstoke is probably unique among most resort communities in B.C. in that tourism is only one sector in a diverse and balanced economy. Forestry and transportation remain very important components of the local economy, and

the growth in tourism has been a positive addition to the local economy-not a replacement for traditional industries as has happened in some communities. So the traditional culture ofthe community has remained strong, and the new arrivals to the community attracted by increasing tourism opportunities have added value and energy to the existing culture.
Of importance, Revelstoke remains a safe community, with low crime rates and a population that reports they feel very safe in the community.

Visitor Concentration As communities become more and more popular as destinations this sense of community and culture can be lost as visitor desires and the desires of those living outside the community supersede local needs. While the ideal mix varies from community to community measuring this indicator helps to identify one driver of toward tourism development impacts on the local community and culture.

'Sense of belonging' to a community is considered to contribute to the community's social fabric, the strength of the relationships among community members. These relationships are often important to help individuals and groups in a community to organize for work, play and community development. Sense of belonging can be negatively impacted by tourism development and lead to tension from residents toward visitors.

4. Conclusion and Outlook The year 2012 produced very strong visitor growth which was better than anticipated. Revelstoke has continued to see strong growth in tourism visitation and hotel room revenues since the initiation of the Resort Municipality Initiative in 2007. Based on some early returns for the current year, we are projecting additional growth in room revenues during 2013. What is encouraging is that, although much of the growth is being seen in the winter months, we are also experiencing growth in other months of the year which is good for the local tourism sector and the local economy.
In terms of tourism infrastructure projects, the highlights of 2012 included the completion and official openings of two new major pieces of public art, the Tournament of Champions Winners Circle and the Sternwheeler. These are wonderful additions to our public art collection in the community, and are proving very popular with visitors. The completion of the snowmobile cabin on Frisby Ridge was also a major accomplishment and will benefit the snowmobile component ofthe tourism sector, an important part of the local tourism industry. In addition, we formally opened the Mark Kingsbury Bridge across the lllecillewaet River, a major new addition to the trail system in the community.
Looking ahead to 2013, we anticipate the completion of a new Visitor Information Centre that will provide a yearround, permanent facility to provide assistance to tourists from around the world. In partnership with the local Dirt Bike Club, the Revy Riders, we are planning some major developments at the dirt bike track facility which will become a venue for races and events that will attract more visitors to the community. We are also planning additional improvements at the Revelstoke Museum and Archives, and the commissioning of another public art piece. We will also take possession of a new bus which will help us transport a growing number of tourists between the community and Revelstoke Mountain Resort during the busy winter ski season.
Lastly, we look forward to expanding our RMI activities from infrastructure into festivals and events. We will provide support for an expanded summer concert series that takes place every summer in our downtown plaza, and we anticipate providing support for the operation of our new Performing Arts Theatre, a newly opened facility attached to the local high school, which will host various concerts, performances and special events that will offer yet another product to encourage increased tourism to the community.
