NEDC Launches New Tourism Website 

and 2012 Visitor Guide

The Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation (NEDC) is pleased to announce the release of the newly designed official 2012 Visitor Guide, and www.tourismnanaimo.com website.

“The updated look and feel of the Visitor Guide and web site better reflect the reality of what Nanaimo and surrounding areas have to offer. Our focus now is on the culinary, arts and culture, theatre and nightlife with a complimenting balance of water, environment, parklands and trails. Visitors will find that we are the better alternative to serve as a mid-island accommodation base for their travels throughout the Island.” says Susan Cudahy, CEO of the Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation.

The marketing creative is designed to communicate “The Top 15 Things to Love about Nanaimo” and this message will be carried through a series of television ads that will be running April through July in the Alberta Campaign offered through Tourism Vancouver Island.

The new Visitor Guides are being distributed widely throughout British Columbia and Alberta with 125,000 copies available. Locals looking for ideas on what do with visitors can pick up Guides at the visitor information kiosk located in the lobby of the Vancouver Island Conference Centre at 101 Gordon Street, by requesting a copy on line, calling 250-756-0106 or visiting the website for a guide download.

Tourism services in Nanaimo have been undergoing significant changes that started last year with moving the delivery of the visitor information function under the newly formed NEDC. The updated design and content of the Visitor Guide and website are a reflection of the combined new vision of the NEDC Board of Directors and Tourism Leadership Committee.
