Richmond, BC — From world-class cuisine and cultural festivals to major sporting events and waterfront destinations, tourism plays a vital role in shaping Richmond’s sense of place, identity and economy. Building on this foundation, the City of Richmond is inviting the community to review and provide feedback on the Draft Richmond Tourism Master Plan 2035—a shared 10-year vision that will guide tourism in Richmond over the next decade.
“Tourism is one of Richmond’s greatest strengths, connecting people to our city while supporting local jobs and community life,” said Mayor Malcolm Brodie. “This draft plan reflects extensive input from residents, visitors, industry partners, and other stakeholders in 2025. We are now seeking broader community feedback to help ensure tourism continues to deliver positive social, cultural, and environmental benefits for Richmond in the years ahead.”

The draft plan outlines key goals and initiatives that align tourism with economic development and community well-being, supporting Richmond’s long-term livability and local character.
“Richmond’s tourism sector thrives when the community has a voice,” said Nancy Small, Chief Executive Officer, Tourism Richmond. “We encourage residents, visitors, tourism businesses and industry partners to provide feedback by February 1 so the plan reflects both community priorities and the city’s full tourism potential.”
The draft plan has been jointly developed by the City of Richmond, Tourism Richmond and the Richmond Hotel Association, with extensive input from industry representatives, community members and other interest holders. Feedback received will help inform final refinements before the plan is presented to Council for consideration. The plan and participation details are available atLetsTalkRichmond.ca.
