Destination Greater Victoria was proud to have her in the city, reminding residents and visitors alike that there is always plenty to see and do—stressing the importance of supporting these local businesses after having to restructure tourism as a result of the COVID pandemic.
“When Destination Greater Victoria (DGV) rebuilt from the financial devastation of COVID-19, we structured our organization differently,” said Paul Nursey, CEO, Destination Greater Victoria.
“The ability to invest in world-leading marketing platforms such as Samantha Brown’s Places to Love is a concrete example of the benefits of this innovative model.”
Brown has 25 years worth of traveling experience—having spent that time immersed in different cultures, foods, and adventures available in each new place.
As described, Places to Love is about seeking the little-known spots where innovators create a brand new travel experience.
