18th Annual Tourism Challenge Kicks Off - West End Business Improvement Association

2018 marks the 18th Annual Tourism Challenge, which brings 29,000 tourism professionals and volunteers together from April 21 to May 31, 2018. This event is proudly supported by the Vancouver Attractions Group, Tourism Vancouver, and the Vancouver Hotel Association.

The West End is participating in the Tourism Challenge as part of the Discover Your Neighbourhood program for the 4th year, and is proud and excited to welcome everyone to our amazing neighbourhood.

We invite Tourism Challenge participants to explore our “Three Great Streets” – Davie Street, Denman Street, and Robson Street. Our neighbourhood’s close proximity to English Bay, Stanley Park, and the downtown core is matched with a diverse and colourful community of amazing people.

Go to Jim Deva Plaza located at the corner of Davie and Bute Streets to figure out the secret phrase. Next, make your way to one of our partnering businesses and say the phrase to receive your TWO West End stamps.
