Why add prices to your listings?
One of the things we have frequently been asked: "Why is it important to feature prices on GoBC?"  GoBC is preparing its next exciting features for tourism related businesses: an Availability Calendar, an Online Booking System, and a Tour Planner that will allow our customers from all over the world to create their own trip itinerary ahead of time prior to their departure. We want to make sure that they find you and your business. Search by category, special offers, events and price will all be options for search criteria as part of the new features GoBC is introducing on its site. Since GoBC's German website was launched we have doubled our internet representation. GoBC has an excellent ranking on Google’s Search… a quantum leap in traffic. Make sure that you too can be found. Would you like to know how many potential customers have accessed your site, let's say yesterday? Or last week? Or last month? Just go to your Admin Area and check your Statistics!

GoBC's new map is coming
GoBC is getting ready for a Spring Cleanup. One of the things we wish to improve is our map. Much more detailed, yet still easy to read, it will allow you to roam BC on a virtual tour. If you do not see any information on your town posted – this means there are presently no listings or events available in your region or town. We can help you feature your town or promote tourism in your region.  Tell us about your town, post your events. Is your region planning Studio Tours, do you know of artists who might be interested in setting up a listing? Remember, our service for artists and tourism related non-profit-organizations is free.

Our way of saying thank you to all those out there who promote Cultural Tourism with their art and creativity.

GoBC is looking for your great pictures
Let us help you promote your town or region by sending us your most beautiful pictures. The season is changing. Why not update the pictures of your town or your region to reflect this change? Have you taken a picture you would like to share with others? GoBC will provide copyright information and the names of the photographers sharing their pictures.

Love to hear from you

Have a great day

Your GoBC team
