Travel iPhone Apps :: Near Me BC

In case the Olympic footage of British Columbia isn't enough to entice you to visit Canada's beautiful West Coast, hopefully the above video will...but really, as if you needed convincing.

Ok, like the 4.5 million other international visitors in 2008, you're now excited to visit "The Best Place on Earth" (caption on all BC license plates). But what now? The planning stage prior to a trip can often be the most time consuming. This is why Tourism British Columbia has put together a list of 4000 activities, restaurants and accommodations to assist in your BC trip planning. An apt explanation of this app is "it's like having a visitor centre in your pocket."
