Girl's Getaway Video
With over 11,000 views since its release last month, the
Girl's Getaway to Fernie video and supporting
long-form video and
trip planning itinerary was a collaborative effort with Destination BC, Kootenay Rockies Tourism and local members. Filmed by Nick Nault, the objective of this video is to increase visitation by a unique market, for Fernie's less known experiences during spring, summer and fall.

Tourism Fernie's 5 Year Strategy
Tourism Fernie is primarily funded by the 2% MRDT/Hotel Tax. We are currently in process of applying for an increase to 3% to support more effective marketing and the collaborative execution of the Tourism Master Plan. You can review the

Trail Updates
In a collaborative effort with trail groups, the resorts and the City, a local trails update has been created to help communicate temporary closures and everything that is OPEN for the season.
Perhaps but hopefully not. Either way being prepared is important. Tourism Fernie will continue to update it's
