Vancouver Island Tourism
The Best Family Vacation Ideas

Vancouver Island Tourism Centers can help you plan your holiday.

You will find great family vacation ideas, the very best vacation spots and even information on luxury vacations on Vancouver Island.

The Vancouver Island Tourism bureau provides a system of free tourist information centers, situated throughout the island.

They are there for your use, whether you walk in personally, e-mail them or check out their websites.

Most of the tourist centers are staffed during the tourist months and people are available for you to ask questions and gather information.

The visitor in his car or the hiker in his climbing boots can step inside and find a huge amount of material for his use: booklets, pamphlets, tours, hotels, B and B's, camps, luxury vacations and more...and a human to answer your questions!

Another boon for Vancouver Island Tourism is a free, online virtual guide book, which is available from "Tourism Vancouver Island'", a part of the "Tourism British Columbia" group.

There are several visitor guide books to choose from, on different subjects. You can see these online guides and make a choice by going here:
