The Thompson-Okanagan is the regional name given to the central and southern interior of British Columbia. The area follows the Thompson Rivers in the North, and the Okanagan valley down to the US border in the South. It is a spectacular year-round travel destination with a much milder climate than the majority of Canada.
The Okanagan provides every imaginable type of accommodation—from extravagant inns, to small bed and breakfasts (B&Bs), to budget motels. Many of the unique locations within the Okanagan are an easy drive away from each other, so visitors can stay in one location and visit another quite easily. Although, it is advisable to check a map as some areas in the northern reaches of the Thompson-Okanagan are quite remote and separated from each other. There is a place to stay for every price range and taste, and the WorldWeb.com Travel Guides will help plan a perfect trip to centres in the area including Kelowna, Kamloops, Vernon, Penticton, Osoyoos, and many more.
KELOWNA
The city of Kelowna is the largest centre in the region and has developed into the commercial and business hub of the Okanagan. Equipped with all the amenities of a major city, it includes an arts centre, sports arena (for hosting events as well as the local hockey team), lively nightlife, and a diversity of restaurants and activities for all ages. Kelowna has managed to do all this, while keeping a strong commitment to the local parks and bike trail system—designed to keep Kelowna a visitor friendly city.
