Superior Outdoors Summer 2010 Issue on the Stands

Superior Outdoors (http://www.superioroutdoors.ca/) has just released its summer 2010 issue and is sure to get avid outdoor enthusiasts stoked about experiencing the Lake Basin's plethora of outdoor adventure experiences.

Launched several years ago, the magazine and website are produced by Thunder Bay's own Darren and Michelle McChristie and focus on the sustainable outdoor adventure experiences that the Lake basin offer up. What I personally love is that the magazine strives, and delivers, to cover the experiences of the entire lake and not just the Canadian North Shore.

This summer's issue enlightens readers about sailing through the National Marine Conservation Area, Hiking the Canadian Shield, Kayaking the Islands f Ney's Provincial Park and Road Tripping Superior's South shore beaches.

Look for a copy at your local bookstore or purveyor of magazines or visit their website. I'm sure a lot of visitors will want to keep this issue handy as they explore the shores of Superior this summer.

Opportunities Abound to Promote Your Experience At NorthernOntario.travel/ThunderBay

Tourism Thunder Bay is wrapping up its second consecutive year of a great partnership with OTMPC with respect to content management on the Northernontario.travel portal and we're looking for itinerary, bundle, story and photo submissions from our local partners for year 3, starting April 1st.

We've been developing the content to date, creating and linking experiences together to showcase unique options for visitors. However, this is truly an industry partnership and we'd like to see more content coming in.

The whole idea behind this is to increase search engine traffic to Thunder Bay experiences and give potential visitors ideas and suggestions that make their vacation experience complete while here.

Here are just a few of the categories we're looking for content around.

Bundles - visitor experiences that are complimentary to each other, examples of which can be museums, outdoor recreation, music or culinary tours.

Itineraries - starting with a core destination experience such as a festival, kayaking, or angling, than adding a accommodation and culinary options together.

Stories - We want to hear your favorite travel story about Thunder Bay. It could be from one of your guests or even your own.

We want to see tourism experience providers working together with accommodation providers, culinary and cultural events and attractions to create some great new vacation ideas that we can post...and generate more buzz for Canada's best outdoor city.

Just email your bundle and itinerary suggestions to ppepe@thunderbay.ca and we'll get them up there. For photos and stories, go to www.mytbay.ca and upload them through that channel.
