Prince George, B.C.- Over a hundred tourism delegates from northern B.C. are in Prince George today.

They are here for the Northern B.C. Tourism Association’s annual general meeting.

Tourism Minister Kevin Krueger will address the group over lunch today at the Coast In of the North.

The delegates represent tourism businesses, marketing organizations and government reps from throughout the north.

Minister Krueger is expected to expand on the last week’s announcement from Premier Gordon Campbell.

In his address to the Union of BC Municipalities, the Premier said the province would launch a new multi-year commitment to marketing British Columbia that will be unprecedented in its size, scope and consistency.

The Premier promised the campaign will be "integrated, focused and well-funded. It will showcase British Columbia and attract new visitors, investors and customers."

The Premier also announced the province will extend the Additional Hotel Room Tax program beyond June 30, 2011.

And one will notice that not only are all our Provincial Parks shuttings down, but that also our public dollars will never go into showing those parks as part of our tourism package. They design Provincial Parks for failure this government so as to buy low hanging fruit from the people benefiting from these programs.
