Summary of Vision, Goals and Objectives of the Nakusp and Arrow Lakes Tourism Plan
Community Vision Statement Village of Nakusp
The desired Nakusp is an attractive, safe, healthy, friendly, economically vibrant, ecologically sound lakeshore
community that is focused on maintaining the quality of life, small-town character and rural charm of the Village.
Nakusp’s built and natural environment respects, above all else, the outstanding diverse natural habitat and optimizes
recreational opportunities for its citizens and its visitors. Nakusp residents enjoy a high quality of life built upon a
sustainable and diversified local economy. The waterfront is particularly emphasized and made accessible to all through
trails and walkways where feasible;
A vibrant commercial area created around the downtown core provides an attraction for visitors and local residents;
Suitable, safe, healthy housing with easy access to transportation, recreation, open space, shopping, schools, and
community services is provided to meet the diverse needs of individuals and families at varying income and age levels;
The road network is solidly established. Vehicle movement is improved with the provision of off-street parking, and safe
loading and unloading spaces, encouraging non-motorized pedestrian movement;
Tourism Vision Statement for Nakusp and Arrow Lakes
Nakusp and the Arrow Lakes is known for its rural charm and natural setting, which sets the pace for sustainable tourism
that balances our economy without compromising quality of life for our residents. We attract visitors who seek nature-
based experiences in a pristine environment, which include soft adventure, recreation, health and wellness, and
heritage, arts and culture. Our community is united in achieving this vision through a spirit of collaboration and
Tourism Plan Goals

base, increasing the jobs and income available to residents while balancing community values;
2. To enhance destination development and appeal for visitors by attracting infrastructure investments through local,
regional, provincial, national and private sources;
3. As an integral element of industry growth, to foster business and industry development that complements and
strengthens products and attractions of most appeal to visitor markets;
4. To encourage tourism operators to consistently and strategically market the area to target markets by working
cooperatively and in collaboration with community stakeholders to leverage resources wherever possible; and
5. To sustain a tourism management function to ensure leadership, organizational capacity, funding and
communications to support tourism stakeholders and the community to achieve the vision for tourism.
