A new contest launched by Tourism Nova Scotia this week encourages Nova Scotians and Atlantic Canadians to explore the province and support local businesses.
The Ultimate Nova Scotia Road Trip contest invites people to post photos of themselves enjoying one, or as many as possible, of 25 quintessential Nova Scotia activities - from whale watching to indulging in a late-night donair - for a chance to win an incredible local getaway.
To enter the contest, participants post photos on Facebook or Instagram of themselves enjoying activities featured on the contest scorecard with the hashtags #NSRoadTrip and #NovaScotiaNice. For each photo posted to social media using the hashtags, participants are entered to win the ultimate prize: a personalized trip including six nights/seven days anywhere in the province (as listed on NovaScotia.com). The more activities people take part in, the more chances they have to win.
"We want to remind people about the wide array of exciting activities available right here at home and encourage Nova Scotians to get out and support as many tourism businesses as possible," says Michele Saran, CEO, Tourism Nova Scotia. "The contest gives both inspiration and incentive to plan a late-summer or early-fall staycation."
Quick Facts:
