The primary aim of the Heritage Tourism Strategy is to sustain Banff as a tourism destination by preserving and celebrating the beauty and ecological integrity of the park and surrounding areas. Powerful, memorable and positive heritage experiences offered to visitors will contribute to our reputation as one of the world’s most unique and environmentally sound tourism destinations.
The Heritage Tourism Strategy complements the Banff National Park Management Plan, the Town of Banff Community Plan, and the Lake Louise Community Plan by working to sustain the health of the tourism industry within the national park while supporting a view of Banff that focuses specifically on heritage tourism values compatible with landscape and heritage appreciation. In addition, the Heritage Tourism Strategy assures that the objectives of the Banff National Park tourism industry are consistent with changing ecological circumstances in the park.
It is the aim of the strategy to ensure that the natural character of the park remains its chief distinction as a tourism destination.
