There’s plenty to discover in British Columbia, including the landmark sights, activities, cultural attractions, museums and galleries, hotels, spas, restaurants, and boutiques found in the new book Experience British Columbia, published by Panache Partners, March 2011, and distributed by IPG. With a foreword by professional basketball player and BC philanthropist Steve Nash, the exquisite 272-page book is infused with upward of 400 photos and captivating descriptions of BC destinations not to be missed.

A must-read for serious travelers bound for the region, a source of inspiration for those casually planning vacations, and an invaluable resource for locals to maximize their quality of life, Experience British Columbia is intended for a global audience interested in what’s unique, revolutionary, innovative, and life-changing about nearly 200 establishments and destinations across the province. The voyage takes readers from Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland on the West Coast—including the 2010 Winter Olympics host of Vancouver—up further inland to Whistler and over to the Okanagan and beyond, showcasing where to shop, dine, explore, and relax for a full understanding of life in BC. Staggeringly beautiful photographs are matched only by fascinating stories to make a carefully curated selection of awe-inspiring experiences.

British Columbia is a hub of arts and culture, so world-class museums, art galleries, theaters, concert halls, cultural institutions, talented artists, intriguing galleries, and festivals are de rigueur. In addition to some of the finest boutiques and showrooms nationwide, well-appointed luxury and boutique hotels, bed-and-breakfasts, resorts, spas, and salons like Pan Pacific Vancouver and Scandinave Spa make for the perfect vacation—or destination. Delicious restaurants and eateries populate every street and town in the province, from Spinnakers Gastro Brewpub to Into Chocolate Specialty Sweets, and innovative wineries and breweries like Sumac Ridge Estates Winery offer enticing day trip potential.
Experience British Columbia is an invaluable resource and a source of inspiration. The 272-page coffee-table book invites readers on a breathtaking journey through one of Canada’s most beautiful provinces. The book is ideal for those who travel regularly and have long been intrigued by BC, are planning an upcoming trip, live in the area and want to maximize quality of life, or simply seek inspiration and the incentive to begin a world tour.
