SuperHosts

In 2006, Tourism BC confirmed that the Prince George Airport was the first airport in the province to receive the prestigious ‘SuperHost’ designation.

SuperHost was first introduced in 1985 to prepare BC’s tourism workforce to host the world at Expo 86. Since then, over 550,000 British Columbians have participated in SuperHost training and helped establish BC’s world-class reputation for service.

The SuperHost program’s excellence is recognized internationally. After an extensive search for the best in the world, American Express selected SuperHost as its customer service training program for 10 Asian countries. In addition to these, tourism agencies in England, Wales, Scotland, New Zealand, Australia, Alaska, Puerto Rico, Ontario, Northwest Territories, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland also have the license rights for SuperHost.
