How IMPACT Came to Be
The IMPACT Sustainability Travel & Tourism Conference was co-founded by Destination Greater Victoria, Synergy Enterprises, Starrboard Enterprises, and tartanbond. The title “IMPACT” was chosen to convey the importance of tourism as an economic driver as well as the large footprint it has on the environmental, social, and cultural fabric of a community and destination.
Meet the organizations who sparked the inception of IMPACT Summit. Their passion and pioneering spirit inspire us all to strive for a more sustainable and regenerative future in travel and tourism.
