ISCBC has been working in partnership with a diverse group of tourism industry professionals with funding from the Canada Nature Fund for Aquatic Species at Risk to develop the new Invasive-Wise Tourism program, a behavior-change program for the tourism industry. The overall goal of the program is to protect species at risk and BC’s rich biodiversity from the threats of invasive species by focusing on high-risk pathways such as movement by tourists, anglers, boaters, floatplanes, and recreationists.

eLearning Content:

Tourism and Invasive Species is an engaging and interactive eLearning training course developed exclusively for tourism operators and staff to increase awareness around invasive species and identify practical actions to prevent the spread of invasive species.

The objectives of the course are to:

·       Understand the impacts of invasive species on tourism in BC

·       Learn the connections between tourism and invasive species

·       Identify practical best management practices to prevent the spread of invasive species

Please allow 20-30 minutes to complete the course.

You can stop and return to your spot if necessary and you can return to the course at any time if you want to review or complete a section.

Please use speakers or headphones as audio is included and disable pop-ups for the best user experience. 

The final quiz requires a pass mark of 60% to obtain your certificate of completion. You have unlimited attempts. Upon completion you will receive an email with your certificate and a feedback survey link - we would love to hear your thoughts on ways to improve the training.

A special thanks to our pilot partners who have offered their time to provide input and guidance on the eLearning course as they pilot the new Invasive-Wise Tourism program!
