Are you planning a visit to Vancouver, BC? Here is a great reason to say ” yes”, and to plan that visit in May, as Tourism Vancouver and partner attractions are holding a “Be a Tourist in Your Own Town” event. As part of Vancouver 125 all BC residents are invited to be a tourist in their own city by taking advantage of over 30,000 free tickets from participating attractions.
Each day during the promotion period, a different area attraction will be revealed as “the attraction of the day”, offering BC residents a limited number of free admission tickets. How can you find out which is the attraction of the day? Follow Tourism Vancouver on twitter (@MyVancouver), on Facebook and on their website early each morning to discover which is the attraction of the day.
