Tourism Wells Gray Visitor Information Centre - Request for Proposal

Tourism Wells Gray is a not for profit organisation that is funded to operate the Visitor Information Centre in Clearwater, BC. As part of the service, there is currently one private business that operates within the building to offer tourist related services. Tourism Wells Gray is seeking to expand the opportunities on offer to the public and add a second retail business. 

 

This proposal is for the 2024 season which runs from April 29 until October 6th, 2024

The current business offers:

- Clothing and tourist memorabilia 

- Local news

 

The size of the space available is approximately 285 square ft.

Electricity is available and is included in the weekly rate

Tourism Wells Gray is fully covered for public liability on the premises. Insurance does not cover any items/stock belonging to the retailers or activity sold to tourists that takes place outside of the Visitor Information Centre. 

Theft or other damage to goods is at the risk of the business owner.

The successful business will 

- have a Canadian business number

- offer a service that is aligned with Tourism Wells Gray's strategic plan

- offer a service that complements and not conflicts with, the existing businesses

- be able to operate within the same operating hours as the Visitor Information Centre and be open 

   from April 29 - Oct 2023.

- In 500 words or less, describe the type of business you would like to operate in this space with information about what you propose to sell. (Remember your offer cannot replicate the existing business' products).

 

$800/month, payable on the last day of each month to Tourism Wells Gray via cheque or e-transfer
