\nClare promotional banner and Map<\/strong>
\nThe Clare Tourism Department recently coordinated the creation of a new pop-up banner, designed by d’EntreMont Design, to bring to trade shows such as the Saltscapes Expo in Halifax at the end of April. The Clare ‘tear-off’ map, with free local tourism industry listings on the back side, is in process of development and will be available in April. A refresh of the www.baiesaintemarie.ca tourism website will also be launched this Spring.<\/p>\n
\nThis is a total refresh for the area, featuring a new design, content and photos. Work continues to update the site, and we will be starting a search engine optimization program for the website this summer.

\nSales for the 2013 Visitors Guide have begun. The guide committee has met four times, and the final draft will be complete within a few weeks. 35,000 copies of the guide will be printed. To book an ad in the guide, contact The Vanguard at (902) 742-7111.

\nThe Clare region will be promoted in the 2013 Digby County Visitors Guide, published annually by the Digby Courier. By encouraging all local accommodations in Digby to carry the guide in every room, this strategy will make it easier for visitors to find all of the things to do and places to eat and shop, and hopefully stay another night.

\nThis French publication is published by Le Courrier de la Nouvelle-\u00c9cosse, and will be distributed in May 2013 for the 13th consecutive year. A total of 10,000 copies will be distributed in strategic locations throughout the Province.
