Canadian Tourism Commission Names Greg Klassen CEO
The senior vice-president of marketing strategy and communications will temporarily take the helm of the country’s top tourism organization
Greg Klassen has officially taken the wheel of the official tourism arm of the Canadian government. The board of directors of the Canadian Tourism Commission , a Vancouver-based Crown corporation, announced the selection Saturday. Formerly the senior vice-president of marketing strategy and communications, Klassen has worked with the Canadian Tourism Commission in various capacities for the last 12 years. Klassen will assume the role of interim CEO and president for the next 90 days while CTC’s board conducts its search for someone to fill the position permanently. Although the 90 days will serve as a transition period for the organization, Klassen says he will likely throw his hat in the ring and apply for the permanent role. During the transition period, Klassen says his primary goal is to help guide the CTC through its plans for 2014. “We had a strong succession plan, so we’re not going to skip a beat,” he says. According to Klassen, CTC will focus the upcoming year’s efforts on heavy marketing, focus on youth travel for the future and focus on bringing international conferences to Canada. He follows in the footsteps of long-time CEO Michele McKenzie, who departed in the fall of 2013 after a decade leading the organization.

Marsha Walden Appointed as Destination Canada’s President & CEO
Today, the Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Economic Development and Official Languages announced the appointment of Marsha Walden as Destination Canada’s President and Chief Executive Officer.
“On behalf of the Board of Directors of Destination Canada, I am pleased to welcome Marsha Walden as our new President and CEO. Marsha is a well-respected and trusted member of the ‘Team Canada’ tourism community. Her experience and impressive record of success will be an asset to Destination Canada, and the sector as a whole, as we build a more resilient visitor economy," said Ben Cowan-Dewar, Destination Canada, Chair of the Board of the Directors.
Walden joins Destination Canada from Destination British Columbia where she served as the President and CEO since 2013. There she successfully led the newly formed provincial Crown corporation to create ground-breaking strategies for tourism development and nationally recognized, data-driven performance marketing. Most recently, her attention has focused on leading the organization to support the ongoing recovery of BC’s tourism sector.
“Tourism goes well beyond the one in 10 jobs it creates nationwide; tourism intersects economic, social, environment and community development,” says Walden. “This is a critical time for the sector and I am thrilled to be joining Destination Canada as we work to support a resilient visitor economy.”
Destination Canada’s Board of Directors wishes to extend thanks to David Robinson, who led the organization as Interim President and CEO for the past six months, as well as the Senior Leadership team for their dedication and passion throughout the past months.
Walden’s first day with Destination Canada will be August 24, 2020.
