As thousands of people pour into Kelowna  for Center of Gravity and other long weekend activities, hotels are full to capacity.

There are a few rooms left, however, and visitors needing accommodation should call the Kelowna Visitor Centre, said Nancy Cameron, the CEO for Tourism Kelowna.

“Centre of Gravity certainly contributes significantly to the number of tourists in the city, and it is a very busy weekend,” she said. “But people can still contact the visitor centre.”

The weekend doesn’t just give hotels a boost. It is also a terrific opportunity for restaurants and retail outlets to be at their peak.

“It’s a great thing for the economy,” said Cameron. “All the visitors spending time here has a positive impact on the residents of Kelowna.”
