Tourism Prince George reopens downtown to attract visitors on foot, not in cars

After weighing options for some time, the Tourism Prince George office has moved from an arterial Highway location, to Prince George’s central downtown, within the Civic Centre. CEO Colin Carson says that successful tourism offices in the province have pivoted to focusing on foot traffic over road traffic. He says that even the center’s temporary digs in shipping container at the Canada Games plaza this summer received more visitors than their previous highway-bound location. CFUR radio spoke Carson at the brand new location days before the grand opening.

As Tourism Prince George shifts its focus from rubber wheels to rubber soles to draw & capture foot traffic in the downtown core, it has made a permanent move to the City of Prince George’s Civic Centre at 808 Canada Games Way. Photo Credit - Tourism Prince George
