Tourism images sought

Tourism images sought to help promote the area to tourists

Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association (CCCTA) president Pat Corbett says it is looking to develop its image bank of high-resolution photos and video of the region for tourism purposes.

The bank is constantly being updated with newer images, and he notes the CCCTA welcomes new submissions providing they depict people having fun or adventure in unique, scenic environments.

“We invite residents from across the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast region to submit their high-resolution photos and video, if they have a spectacular scene with photogenic colour and people.

“We’d love to see their pictures promoting activities in the community.”

Summer imagery is in particular demand now, for its experiential, community branding promotions.

In the South Cariboo, summer images specifically being sought that might appeal to tourists are of Fishing Highway 24, Chasm and Lac la Hache.

Corbett notes the strategic direction for tourism photos all across Canada includes people participating in activities, as opposed to the more traditional landscape scenes.

However, a breathtaking backdrop remains an essential component, he explains.

The criteria can be downloaded from www.landwithoutlimits.com, including a list of suggested subjects and some photographic principles and guidelines.

To submit photos or video, e-mail Amy Thacker at amy@landwithoutlimits.com or call toll-free to 1-800-663-5885.
