Insufficient supply of affordable housing is registered in tourism destinations around the world.The lack of affordable housing takes a significant negative impact on the individual and on thesocial and economic viability of a community. This master’s thesis explores the issue ofaffordable housing through a case-study approach of the mountain destination WhistlerBlackcomb in British Columbia, Canada. This mountain resort has been successfully managingaffordable housing for many decades and can consecutively host more than 75% of its localworkforce within municipal boundaries. Based on a numeric analysis of a period of 16 years,this research could identify that Whistler has made much progress in providing affordablehousing for its residents, despite irrational high real estate values. This thesis could identifybest practices used in Whistler to supply affordable housing through document and interviewcontent analyses. The study shows that the implemented practices build on strong intersectoralstakeholder relationships, collaborations, and the active involvement of the local community.Essential practices include the creation of non-market housing developed and managed by amunicipal-owned housing authority.
