These are long-term economic drivers, anchors that will turn Kamloops from a stopover into a must-stop.\u201d<\/b>\n

KAMLOOPS, BC, CANADA, October 28, 2025 \/EINPresswire.com<\/a>\/ — Tourism Kamloops has officially launched its first investor-facing campaign aimed at accelerating destination development in one of British Columbia\u2019s fastest-growing cities. The Iconic Structure Campaign introduces three high-potential concepts validated through third-party feasibility analysis: an iconic tower and adventure park, a Nordic spa, and a glass-bottom skywalk.<\/p>\n

This bold move follows a multi-year strategic planning process led by Tourism Kamloops\u2019 Destination Development team and CBRE\u2019s Destination & Tourism group. The campaign invites aligned developers, operators, and capital partners to co-create landmark infrastructure with long-term economic and cultural value.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is about building more than attractions,\u201d said Nic Zdunich, Destination Development Manager. \u201cThese are long-term economic drivers, anchors that will turn Kamloops from a stopover into a must-stop. Once we started asking the right questions\u2014What should we build? What do visitors want?\u2014the answers came fast. We\u2019re ready now to deliver something iconic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kamloops is already capturing attention, welcoming nearly 2 million visitors annually and generating over $316 million in direct visitor spending. This momentum speaks to the city\u2019s growing reputation as a must-visit destination, yet there\u2019s still untapped potential. While attractions like the BC Wildlife Park remain beloved, evolving visitor expectations and rising demand create clear opportunities for new investment. With a strong foundation, surging interest, and a community-first approach to development, Kamloops is ready to work with developers for its next landmark attraction. <\/p>\n

The Nordic Spa answers a growing demand for wellness travel. Blending hydrotherapy, panoramic views, and contemporary design, it offers year-round revenue potential with strong appeal to adults and wellness-focused operators.<\/p>\n

The Iconic Tower and Adventure Park is envisioned as a high-impact investment anchored in Kamloops\u2019 reputation as a mountain biking mecca and hub for adventure enthusiasts. Combining a striking architectural landmark with ziplines, ropes courses, and event space, it offers diversified, year-round revenue potential and strong appeal to both visitors and the active local market.<\/p>\n

The Skywalk over Hoodoos offers a culturally immersive, cliffside viewing experience developed in partnership with Sc.w\u00e9n\u0313wen Economic Development Corporation, the Business Arm of Tk\u0313eml\u00faps te Secw\u00e9pemc. With integrated storytelling, culinary programming, and low ecological impact, it presents a compelling opportunity for developers and investors seeking a high-profile, tourism-driven asset in British Columbia.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis campaign reflects the confidence we have in Kamloops\u2019 potential,\u201d said Erik Fisher, CEO of Tourism Kamloops. \u201cAfter extensive studies and strong community engagement, we\u2019re excited to show others why Kamloops is brimming with opportunity. We believe the right partnerships will lead to the kinds of attractions that appeal to both visitors and residents.\u201d<\/p>\n

Backed by CBRE\u2019s Market Feasibility Study and aligned with Destination BC\u2019s \u201cInvest in Iconics\u201d strategy, the campaign positions Kamloops as a key anchor on the Rainforest to Rockies Route and \u201cNature\u2019s Heartland.\u201d<\/p>\n

Developers, operators, and capital partners are invited to explore the investor lookbooks and connect directly with the team.<\/p>\n
