BC Tourism Campaign in San Francisco
A new tourism marketing campaign, to encourage more travellers to visit B.C. this spring and summer, is now running in key markets across North America.
To launch the campaign in San Francisco, Tourism BC placed a giant vending machine (the "BC Moments Machine") which played videos to showcase B.C.'s diverse experiences and gave San Franciscans a chance to walk away with mementos to get them excited about travelling to British Columbia.
