Destination Osoyoos Board Members
Daniel Bibby
Destination Osoyoos board member since 2018
What is your personal interest in Osoyoos and Tourism?
“Tourism is the industry that welcomes travellers from all over the world and creates unique and story-worthy experiences for visitors to the area while creating significant jobs and economic contribution to the local community. Osoyoos is a beautiful destination with so much to offer, and the opportunity ahead is to showcase our community to a global audience…without losing our rural charm!”

What is your personal interest in Osoyoos and Tourism?
“I am incredibly proud to live and work in Osoyoos. I am even more proud to share it with visitors who come for the same reasons I first did. As the owner of a business that is almost exclusively patronized by visitors, the quality and quantity of the experiences available to tourists and how they are packaged, branded, and marketed are incredibly important to me. Wakepilot is not the only reason my customers come to Osoyoos. Wakepilot is part of a larger offering. I benefit along with other operators in the market when the aggregate “Osoyoos” experience is promised (through Destination Osoyoos’ efforts) and delivered by local businesses as best as possible. A rising tide floats all boats.”

“I have a desire to see Osoyoos grow into a 4 season destination and provide year-round jobs. Osoyoos is my home and has been for several years, so I want to see it thrive. I have also worked in tourism since 1991 and have a passion for the growth of our local tourism economy.”

What is your personal interest in Osoyoos and Tourism?
“I believe that developing and raising awareness of the rich and varied experiences throughout the South Okanagan/Similkameen region helps drive tourism and enhances the overall enjoyment for both visitors and residents. As a board member since 2017, I joined to share my marketing, brand and product development expertise, and my passion for the region, and I am committed to helping Destination Osoyoos in its mandate to increase visitation and encourage guests to stay longer and experience more.”

What is your personal interest in Osoyoos and Tourism?
“Osoyoos has an abundance of activities and so much beauty that extend beyond the summer months. It is a perfect year-round destination where people can gather and create memories together. By becoming a destination in all four seasons, there is not only economic growth but the opportunity for stable full-time employment.”
