Kim's corner - Message's from the CEO

Spring's just around the corner! It's almost time for spring cleaning, yard work, repairs from winter's storms, property upgrades, launching the docks and throwing out the welcome mat for guests. The life of a resort operator in the CCC region is a steady stream of seasonal change spiced up during springtime by the anticipation of meeting new friends and sharing our fantastic part of the world with visitors.

By now the phone and email are yielding a steady stream of reservations for pack horse trips, guided fishing adventures, and spa vacations. The Cariboo Chilcotin Coast is chocker-block full of adventure! It's the perfect destination for people bored of mega sized shopping malls, contrived entertainment, and brimming with a desire to experience LIFE.

This is the story we at the CCCTA are telling for 2008. We're telling it in our newly designed Travel Guide, Adventure Mini-Guide,and regional map. We're telling it with HUGE images of heart-stopping adventure and engaging wilderness activities. The pictures speak for themselves - we live in a truly amazing part of the world!
