BC's biggest tourist drawing card is the spectacular scenery and natural splendour found here, a point also made distinctly in the mottos of our tourism associations. Catering to this major motivation among our visitors is therefore very sensible.
At Vistascene Maps we are doing our part to encourage that spirit of discovery by introducing visitors with two sweeping 3-D views to our region's geographic diversity and scenic beauty. If you have anything to do with outdoor recreation or sightseeing, you heighten interest and anticipation for what you have to offer by advertising on our panoramic map.
Our two panoramas are much more than just maps or aerial images, because their design allows visual perception of the whole region at a glance. No other medium, no matter with how many pictures and editorials, can rival that instant overall impression created with a great bird's eye view. With our panoramic tourist map we bring a new marketing tool to BC long recognized and widely used in Europe as an effective way of promoting tourist destinations and their assorted offerings. A panoramic map keeps on advertising long after visitors have flown home, when they show to friends and family the route of their travels and places where they had stayed.
Our part of BC will be ever more the focus of world attention in the coming years. We therefore decided to present two separate panoramas of this important region in the same publication. Our new panoramic tourist map is unique in how it ties together the Fraser Valley, Vancouver and the Sea to Sky Corridor with views from two entirely different vantage points. Visitors can see it all at a glance - including your ad.
In another first, we will have a short introduction to each of the two panoramas with reference to advertising sponsors in seven major languages, a tribute to the increasingly global origin of our visitors. As a further bow to a global audience, internationally recognized symbols will be used as much as possible for highlighting attractions and other points of interest on the images. The print size of the panoramic maps will allow for a lot of detail not evident on the web samples. Roads will be named and the major ones highlighted to facilitate orientation and travel. Emphasis will be on visuals throughout.
The seven flags at the top of the front cover with each language named below in its original will assure that our panoramic map will be picked up by the curious traveler and your ad get the exposure you want.
- Good visual recognition with only a limited number of ads.
- Cross referencing of your ad with your location or area of activity on the panorama map
- Print run of 150,000 maps (size 18x27", folded to 4x9")
- Professional distribution by Certified Folder Display Service to hundreds of strategic locations throughout the Lower Mainland and Sea to Sky Corridor, Vancouver and Abbotsford Airports as well as the Ferries and selected Visitor Info Centers in other parts of the province
- Bulk mailings to selected key tour operators abroad
- Free use of our panorama images or part on your own website, (subject to certain conditions)
- Links to your site from interactive panoramas on our website (in development)
Whether you are in the business of promoting our region, your city, or provide direct services to visitors as a destination resort, tourist attraction or tour operator, advertising on our panorama map will gain you exposure to an international audience in a way few other print mediums can match.
