Towards a gentler visitor season
The Southern Gulf Islands Tourism Partnership (SGITP) is the community destination management organization (CDMO) for the Southern Gulf Islands region, which includes Galiano, Mayne, Pender, Saturna, and Salt Spring Islands.
As a non-profit society, we work diligently to encourage more seasonally balanced visitation that supports the economic activity and diversity of our island businesses. At the same time, we seek visitation that leaves a net positive benefit on our communities, both socially and environmentally, to support our residents’ quality of life and our islands’ values.
Engaging with all levels of government, local chambers of commerce, conservancies, arts organizations, independent businesses, and other non-profits, we advocate for and support regenerative destination management for our region.
