What is your travel type?

Tourism Vernon has been working with tourism partners and key regional, provincial and national tourism partners to promote Vernon as a destination for leisure, meetings, events and sports travel. We work with tourism partners in Vernon and our surrounding communities to attract visitors to the region, encourage them to stay longer and comeback for subsequent visits.

Both media relations and our consumer marketing efforts are in full swing, and we have many projects on the go.

We provide Snippets, tidbits, reports, research, stats and background info for the tourism industry.
