COME ASHORE!
For only $250, you can be a part of our very successful COME ASHORE! program. This direct marketing initiative is specifically designed to bring the thousands of visiting boaters and cruise ship passengers ashore to experience what Nanaimo has to offer.
The Nanaimo Port Authority estimates that over 8,000 pleasure-craft, mostly from the US, visit Nanaimo annually. Make sure your business gets its share of their vacation dollars!
COME ASHORE! program packages are presented in logoed plastic bags and contain Nanaimo's Official Visitors' Guide, as well as promotional and discount coupons from participating members. Check back for details about Tourism Nanaimo's COME ASHORE! program for the 2009 season.
