Tourism Nova Scotia worked with 12 partners in 2021-22 to create 17 packages that range across the province and all seasons. The packages were included on a Stay Longer landing page on NovaScotia.com, which was supported through a digital marketing campaign targeting Ontario and Quebec in March 2022.
