One of the best ways to find out about another part of the world is when you land on a site that gives you everything you want to know about the place. Another great way is to search for a Facebook group where personalities-in-the-know can enlighten you or you can simply follow along on the discussions that others are having.

One such new group is Nova Scotia – Travel Media. Launched by Tourism Nova Scotia’s Media & Marketing Development Manager, Pam Wamback, this new forum will draw like-minded tourism professionals, especially in the media, for discussions on where Nova Scotia tourism is heading and up-to-date.

Travel Media Site

Listed on the website is a menu of easily-managed links where the world press can access information on Nova Scotia and connect with ongoing tourism junkets. From this site interested media persons can be accommodated in their search for information on Nova Scotia from a first-hand perspective. Tourism Nova Scotia will coordinate accommodation, outdoor activities, interviews, partner introductions, ground transportation and meals that will not only help them fill in the facts but provide them with a lasting impression of one of the friendliest places on the planet.

Media Monitor

Another way the Nova Scotia Tourism is keeping ahead of the pack is with media monitors, updated pages letting interested persons know about upcoming trips and activities. These are continually updated in a press-release format to ensure everyone knows well ahead of time what is going on.

Contact Information

Of course you should hear it from the professionals and Nova Scotia has people that know every inch of the province from Meat Cove, Cape Breton to Cape Forchu Lighthouse near Yarmouth. Check with their Nova Scotia – Travel Media Facebook Group or contact:

Dennis Campbell, the mastermind behind Ambassatours-Gray Line, one of the most successful transportation and tour businesses in the country, has initiated one of the best charities for kids that has come down the pike since The Childrens’ Wish Foundation of Canada. It’s called Big Buses For Little Kids.

As the president of Ambassatours-Gray Line Dennis started his career in the hospitality industry at the age of seven when on a tour bus ride, he realized that people paid money to the girl who did the talking. At the age of 15 he started his own tour and destination management company, at 19 a tourism publishing company and at 21, his own bus company. Over the last 2 years Dennis’ company has added over 35 motor coaches to his company’s fleet to become the largest tour and charter coach operator in Atlantic Canada.

Here is Dennis describing his new idea:

“Have you ever met a child who thinks that dump trucks, fire trucks and buses are the coolest things? How about a little boy or girl like this one who is sick? We have initiated a new program in partnership with the Children’s Wish Foundation called “Big Buses for Little Kids”.

This is a very cool program whereby an Ambassatours Gray Line bus picks up and delivers children who are traveling to the airport on a trip of a lifetime. It is magic for a little boy or girl who has been sick to have their very own bus pick them up at their home or hospital to sit in the drivers seat, wear the drivers hat, honk the horn and begin their wish in their own private bus. The goal of “Big Buses for Little Kids” is to be part of making children’s wishes come true. We are in the process of taking the program worldwide.”

What a great idea? I mean what kid doesn’t like big vehicles.

Please go to Big Buses For Little Kids and see how you can help with this worthy cause or start up one in your area.
