CEO’S MESSAGE: DECEMBER 2024

Dear Team Richmond, 

It’s hard to believe that we are almost at the end of 2024! In strong collaboration and shared values with our dedicated partners, it has been a joy to showcase Richmond this year.

We toasted our thriving tourism industry with over 150 guests at our Year-End Celebration, hosted in partnership with the Westin Wall Centre Vancouver Airport. Emcee Zen Lim guided us through a festive evening featuring entertainment by vintage vocal trio Beauty Shop Dolls and a lively 360 spin photo booth amongst hospitality and tourism colleagues from across the industry.

The Richmond EPIC Tourism Awards capped off an enjoyable event – the annual awards truly embody the dynamic, welcoming spirit of this destination and Tourism Richmond was proud to acknowledge this year’s winners and nominees. Further recognition came from great local coverage of the awards by Richmond News and the Richmond Sentinel. To view and learn more about the 2024 winners and nominees, please click here.

Thank you all for your hard work and dedication that have made this year a success – there is much to look forward to in 2025.

Happy Holidays!

Sincerely,

Nancy Small

Tourism Richmond Team Member
