Last Updated: 17 June 2019

2019 Tourism Literature Distribution Nova Scotia tourism operators and tourism-related organizations may be eligible to display brochures, travel guides and related literature in Tourism Nova Scotia’s provincial visitor information centres (VICs).

Tourism Nova Scotia encourages tourism businesses and organizations to contact the VICs you believe can assist you with your marketing objectives to determine how your brochures will be used, shipment quantities and delivery options.

All travel publications must be free of charge, duty free and shipped to the site prepaid. Collect or COD shipments will not be accepted. When sending your travel publications by trucking/courier companies, ensure they offer door-to-door service. VICs are not equipped to unload shipments. For ease of handling we suggest bundling brochures/guides and securing with elastics or strings in quantities of 50 or 100.

Community Visitor Information Centres

Organizations throughout Nova Scotia operate visitor information centres in their communities. While Tourism Nova Scotia does not manage these centres, we do provide financial support to eligible centres through our Community VIC Funding Program, which is administered by several different industry partners.

Prior to shipping anything to community VICs, please contact the VIC directly to verify site opening dates, brochure guidelines and shipping requirements, as this may differ by location. Some centres may have restrictions on what types of travel publications they will accept (ie: specific to the region or community).
