Visiting Vancouver? There’s a new app for that

Tourism Vancouver has released a new destination iPad app designed to be an inspirational trip planning tool and travel companion for visitors from around the world. The Visit Vancouver app — available for free download from Apple’s iTunes store — is interactive, fun to use and developed to take full advantage of the iPad platform by showcasing bold video and imagery that inspires travel to Vancouver. The app includes information on dining, accommodations, activities, transportation, events and weather. It also allows users to take photo tours of the city, book hotels, peruse online videos, read travel articles, bookmark and share “Favourites,”and search a continually updated calendar of Vancouver events and festivals.
