Vancouver’s Southwest Washington Convention
and Visitors Bureau has launched a new brand to
differentiate the city from Vancouver, B.C., its name
sake to the north in Canada.
“Visit Vancouver USA, Discover the Original,” was
developed on the heels o f the recent Winter Olympics,
held in the “other” Vancouver.
The new brand comes with a new Web site and
ongoing support for the area’s numerous attractions,
including dining, entertainment, and recreation.
Vancouver and its surrounding cities offer an eclec
tic blend o f historic sites with modem amenities like
fine dining, wine tasting, and boutique shopping. The
region is considered the gateway to popular North
west attractions such as the Columbia River Gorge,
Mt. St. Helens, and W ashington’s many scenic coastal
towns.
“We are very excited about this new direction
and believe it will bode well for attracting tourists
and meetings to the region,” said Vancouver Mayor
Tim Leavitt. “The brand puts a fresh and vibrant
new face on our region while not overlooking our
deep historic roots.”
The convention and visitors bureau developed the
marketing campaign with input from regional commu
nity and civic leaders, local business owners and
managers, and members o f the local hospitality indus
try.
“I am confident that this brand will begin clearing up
the confusion between the Canadian city and our city,
which was really reinforced during the 2010 Winter
Olympics,” said Gerry Link, the general manager o f the
Hilton Vancouver Washington and Vancouver Con
vention Center. “We received numerous calls from
travelers who mistakenly thought they were calling
the other Vancouver.”
