Spotlighting Communities
You may have noticed that we now have a detailed information page about some communities, for example Victoria, Vancouver or Kamloops. We want to promote all of BC’s Communities and are still working to develop others. Thanks to the great response to our last newsletter, we have received several emails and images, which are now featured on our web site. You too can help us make your community more attractive to all of our Visitors. How?
1) Do you have any pictures or events you can submit? Send them to us and they just might appear on the community head line! With photo credit of course.
2) Tell more people about GoBC including Artists, Studio Tours, Hotels, Museums or Tour Companies, the more variety showcased in your area, the more interesting and exciting it looks to our Visitors!

Advance Travel Plans
We also noticed an increase in European activity on our web site, which can only mean one thing! Europeans are planning their 2007 vacation. Review your listing to make sure all your images, reservation calendars, and promotions are up to date to attract customers. With five weeks paid vacation Europeans tend to plan up to a year in advance.

New setup Video Tool
To help you to manage your listing on the GoBC web site, we have created a Video which explains to you in very simple steps how to make additions and changes to your listing.

Look Booked, Stay Booked
Recently, we have received inquiries about companies interested in listing with GoBC, but they are booked into next year. Our response for those working with us has shown that if customers see you are booked, they know you must be a hot spot to stay. Consistent exposure continues to support businesses year round. Look Booked, Stay Booked!
