Who Are We
BC Lodging and Campgrounds
Association is a non-profit trade
organization representing over 600 motels, motor inns, hotels,
resorts, lodges, bed and breakfasts,
campgrounds and RV Parks throughout British Columbia. The Association
has been effectively representing small and medium sized accommodations
since 1944.
Membership
Membership in the BC Lodging and Campgrounds Association is voluntary
and properties that apply to belong to the Association must agree
to abide by the Association’s
code of ethics.
BC Lodging and Campgrounds Association does not visit nor inspect
members’ businesses but the Association’s code of ethics
does require that accommodation members meet and maintain Tourism
British Columbia’s Approved Accommodation standards. Therefore,
all members listed on our consumer web sites have been inspected
by, and approved by, Tourism British
Columbia as part of their bi-annual inspection program.
