Merritt has long been known for its’ sunny dry climate, laid-back western hospitality and central proximity to Vancouver, Kelowna and Kamloops.
With an ever-increasing number of travellers visiting Merritt every year, we are particularly excited about the growing opportunities to serve the group travel market. Merritt is the Country music Capital of Canada and an ideal location for tour groups offering day trips out of Vancouver.

We are committed to working with tour operators, wholesalers, group travel leaders, travel agents and other travel planners, to help showcase Merritt and the Nicola Valley as a unique travel destination and to insure a memorable trip for your clients.
