Happy New Year
GoBC's team would like to wish all of you a Happy New Year. May you be able to make the things you plan for 2006 come true. Why not make - having a look at your GoBC Admin area regularly- one of your New Year's Resolutions…. the ones you intend to keep? We are constantly striving to improve GoBC's web presence. You may want to see what’s new, have changes in your setting, update your pictures, rephrase your advertising text, include new features you are now offering or just give your site the fresh appearance that goes with the changing season.

GoBC's site on the German market is doing great
We are amazed and proud ourselves how well our German site was received in the public. Obviously, GoBC has tapped on to a big demand on travel information to BC for German speaking customers. The German GoBC site www.urlaub-reisen.gobc.ca is on Google's first page when searching for the key words: Britisch Kolumbien and Reisen!
Now, after the bustle of Christmas your potential customers are starting their research for travel destinations to BC. Low-priced flight specials are offered and booked now. What better time to start preparing for this endeavour? Again, we would like to encourage you as those listing on GoBC to update your information. Make this year a great year for your business, your art, your community and your region. Have a great start. GoBC
