The Tourism Whistler Fee

Many Whistler properties are associated with an annual Tourism Whistler Fee. You might have seen this referred to as the "TW Fee". 

We've created this page to provide you with some information on what this fee consists of, what Tourism Whistler represents and other information on this fee.

What is Tourism Whistler?

Tourism Whistler is a not-for-profit member-based marketing and sales organization, representing more than 7,000 members who own, manage and operate properties and/or business on Resort Land in Whistler.

The mission of Tourism Whistler is to market and sell Whistler to the world as the year-round mountain resort of choice. Tourism Whistler is responsible for developing coordinated strategies in the areas of marketing and sales to promote the entire resort.

Why are Property Owners Members of Tourism Whistler?

In 1979, the Provincial Development Plan called for Whistler to build a tourist resort village. Accommodation developed in prime areas were designated "Resort Lands" under the Resort Municipality of Whistler Act (1975) and many have covenants registered on title to ensure that properties in these prime locations will be available for rent to tourists visiting Whistler. 

Tourism Whistler (then The Whistler Resort Association) was formed to market and promote Whistler, using assessments paid by its members to support its members to support its sales and marketing initiatives. Membership is therefore compulsory for all owners of property on Resort Land and all members are required to pay assessments.
