Bio
Trina Notman
Paul is someone who works hard, works smart and accomplishes great things. We had a ton of fun doing the best work we could do together to take Victoria to new heights as a destination. I will always be grateful for all the opportunities he gave me. My career grew to the next level and continues to grow thank to those opportunities. He remains a close ally and a friend.
Don Fennerty
I had the pleasure of working with Paul during my time as General Manager of the Fairmont Empress. I found Paul's enthusiasm and desire to position Victoria as a leading destination very contagious. His strategic approach, strong network and knowledge of the industry has positioned Tourism Victoria at the forefront of DMO's within Canada. His focus on developing sound organizational strategies in partnership with the destination and his passion for execution, have led to a more competitive, modern and streamlined DMO that continues to drive revenues and enhance the guest experience.
