TIABC
Meet Royce Chwin, President and CEO of Destination Vancouver as he joins TIABC’s Voice of Tourism podcast host Walt Judas for a wide-ranging conversation on leadership, city building, and the future of Vancouver’s visitor economy.
Royce shares his non-linear career path, from cleaning grease traps and opening Boston Pizza franchises to leading Canada’s national tourism brand and eventually running one of the country’s top destination management organizations.
He also reflects on AI adoption at Destination Vancouver, the irreplaceable human element of tourism, and why curiosity and a mindset of change are at the core of his leadership philosophy.
