Over the past several years, Tourism Vancouver Island has been very successful in driving qualified consumers to our various destination microsites including VancouverIsland.travel. To better promote our region and drive even more qualified traffic to stakeholders, we are optimizing our site to be the best resource for prospective travellers looking to visit the Island. Through the promotion of all of our local business partners, and proudly showcasing the various activities each region has to offer, we are inviting our consumers to get back into their element on Vancouver Island and we invite you to be a part of our unique formula.
