Zaui Software Founder and Chief Technology Officer Kory Fawcett has been appointed as the newest member of the Board of Directors for Tourism Vancouver. Kory will serve as the board’s technology advisor.
Kory has been building technology for the tours and activities space for the better part of twenty years and is a pioneer behind the software that makes it so easy to book trips and activities online. Kory’s company, Zaui Software, merges the customer booking interface (including tickets, notifications, etc.) with a sophisticated suite of back-office tools for tourism businesses. His deep understanding of the global tourism industry, combined with an obsession with technology, was a perfect match for the international tourist hub that Vancouver has become.
When asked about his newest appointment, Kory enthusiastically talks about his city and a thriving organization focused on growth. “I am truly honoured to be selected as a Director for Tourism Vancouver and look forward to applying 20 years of technology experience in the leisure tourism space. Vancouver is an internationally recognized iconic city. Our city’s tourism products and services are as diverse as its natural beauty and landscape. I believe Tourism Vancouver has a real opportunity to grow and expand its products and services, and I’m fortunate to have been asked to be a part of that.”
Kory recently presented at the BC Tourism Industry Conference held in Kelowna, BC, on the future of technology and tourism and has been sourced as a technology thought leader for Business In Vancouver. Kory is excited to take on this new role and give back to the local tourism economy that has provided so much opportunity, adventure and quite possibly is the best place in the world to call home.
