The Golden Bay Promotion Association launched its new brochure this week. Members and guests met at the newly-refurbished i-Site to celebrate the arrival of the brochure, which, with the famous yellow map, is an important means of publicising the Bay's attractions.
The association prints 30,000 of the brochures and members distribute them to visitors through their businesses. The brochure includes photgraphs and maps as well as written information about places in the Bay.
Association president Jane Dixon said that the tourist season had grown from six weeks to about nine months now. As a result, the current brochure will be made to last until this time next year and the next one will be made to last for 18 months. From then on the brochures will be re-launched in July so that they are ready for the earlier start to the tourist season.
