The 2009 Backpackers Hostels Conference in Kelowna

The 2009 Backpackers Hostels Conference in Kelowna!

Every year, several hostel owners and operators gather at the annual Backpackers Hostels Canada conference to discuss issues concerns and ideas and of course to get together and have a good time.

As you can see in the photo below, Kelowna is breathtaking. Participants stayed at one of the Kelowna Hostels, Kelowna International Hostel and Samesun Kelowna, and both hostels helped organize the event with complete professionalism...was a real blast! Next year, the Backpackers Hostels Canada conference will be held on Canada's East Coast.
