Editor's Notes
- Hi, I’m Frankie, this is Louise, Nada and Nic, and together we form the Capilano Degree Team. We specialize in tourism management, and as residents have invested interest in BC Parks.
- BC Parks is approaching the end of their strategic program plan, now is a time to reinvent. BC Parks new vision 2012 – 2016 is “to be a world leader in cultural and educational experiences while fostering environmental stewardship.” Based on our vision, we have five recommendations to help BC Parks strengthen their current market, and capture new emerging markets.

- http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c9/BC_parks.png/300px-BC_parks.pngBC Parks is big. BC Parks is 13.5 million hectares of land. An extremely vast amount of land. It’s the second largest park system in Canada, and over 90% of British Columbians have visited or used the park once.
- http://www.naturecruises.com/page4.html Not only is BC Parks big, it’s worth preserving. A lot of cultural, and educational history accompanies the land.
- http://www.spacesfornature.org/greatspaces/images/maps/tatshenshini.gifSuch as theGwaiiHaanas National Park Reserve, which is a Haida Heritage Site.
- http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/72/gallery/And Tatshenshini-Alsek Provincial park, which forms the largest international world heritage site, which is 947,026 hectares. British Columbia is home to 3 UNESCO parks.
- http://www.whistler.com/images/header/seatosky_mountains.jpgNot only is BC Parks big and worth preserving, their easily accessible. From metropolitan Vancouver, it takes a short drive to reach a BC Park full of nature. We’re surrounded by it.
- http://www3.sympatico.ca/goweezer/canada/canpics/zflagbc.gifhttp://images.nationalgeographic.com/wpf/media-live/photos/000/005/cache/grizzly-bear_566_600x450.jpgBC Parks has developed and established a strong brand over these 100 years. It is part of British Columbians identity. It offers a variety of wildlife, and breathtaking natural landscapes such as grizzly bears and rocky mountains.
- http://www.linkbc.ca/torc/downs1/orig_Canada_Summary_Yr1_EN.pdf From a report conducted by Canadian Tourism Commission in 2009, it surveyed and found the top motivations to travel within Canada. The top four motivations are seeing historical and cultural attractions, observing wildlife, visiting national parks, and seeing beautiful scenery. BC Parks possesses all these motivations, proving it is a marketable product.
- http://seo-hacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/big-ideas.jpgThe BC Parks Strategic Plan will be expiring in 2012. This is a great opportunity for BC Parks to strategize and create a plan that reflects their current needs. This is a time for BC Parks to start refreshed.
- However, BC Parks does face some challenges such as economic uncertainty. With the recession, currency fluctuation and more, this has influenced BC Parks visitors lifestyle.
- BC Parks is also facing the challenge of slow change in visitation numbers. Visitor changes are not significant.2007/2008 – 2008/2009 Visitor change -0.2%2008/2009 – 2009/2010 Visitor Change 3.3%2009/2010 – 2010/2011 Visitor Change -2.9%
- Another challenge is BC Parks is facing is an aging baby boomer market. http://www.4ingrid.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/retirement-tips-for-baby-boomers.jpg
- http://www.acclaimimages.com/_gallery/_images_n300/anonymous_businessman_holding_a_question_mark_in_front_his_face.jpgThough there are challenges such as visitation numbers, demographic, and economic uncertainty. There are many things that BC Parks can capitalize on. British Columbia is increasing immigration levels, and Vancouver population is suppose to grow over the years to be 1.2 million larger. This means there is an emerging new market that has not been capitalized.
- http://dret.net/lectures/web-fall10/img/phones.jpgCurrently BC Parks is in an age, where technology has brought the world to be more interconnected. Mobile access to the internet now exceeds computer.
- Some of the key issues we have identified for BC Parks is the lack of a current mobile application, the low percentage of multi-day visitation, and the impacts on visitors experiences due to tighter budgets.
- Technology is a tool that we use to stay interconnected. Mobile access is now used more than internet access through the computer, meaning the access to information has created an increasingly competitive environment. As a result, BC Parks needs to keep up with its competitors by developing a mobile application. This mobile application is a great way of informing people of hours, contact information, a map and more. It can should also have the capability of allowing people to reserve campsites. Another component of the mobile application is by providing a small game for free, which will increase awareness of BC Parks.
- http://photos.igougo.com/images/p82232-Lake_District_Cumbria_NW_England-Grasmere.jpgA great example of a mobile application created successfully is England Lake District. The England Lake District created an mobile application stimulating an activity which can be done when visiting the destination.
- http://www.whatwasithinking.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/go-skimming-iphone-app.jpgWith a simple application of simple stones, this mobile application has increased brand awareness of England Lake District. It has also created buzz and a lot of media coverage, meaning free advertisement for the destination leading to an increase in visitation.What is the recommendationMobile applicationGame with parks themesSome of the ideas, building a tent, rubbing two sticks to star a firePark facilitiesReserve a siteWhereAndroidApple Smart PhonesHowHire an application designer to design the applicationBest PracticeGo skimming applicationEngland Lake DistrictChallenges someone else is overcoming/best practice
- This mobile application could be a game, which the user tries to start a fire for example.
- Another way to increase visitation is by making the parks more accessible for use by supplying gear rentals. This means select parks, located near Metro Vancouver will offer gear rentals. This could be conducted through public private partnerships with MEC. What is the recommendationGear RentalsWhereSelect parks with appropriate sites will offer gear rental. These parks should be located near Metro VancouverHowPublic private partnership with MECMec has existing rental program which can be expandedBest PracticeAdvantage – innovative – no one else does this.
