With prospective travelers everywhere cutting back on, or delaying, their vacation plans, British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley is feeling the pinch. A CBC informou esta semana que summer bookings are way down for travel to B.C.’s wine country.

But if you’ve been considering an Okanagan visit, este spring is a great time para ir.

Não só a região sediar uma popular spring wine festival — este ano, que vai de abril 30 through May 9 — but with fewer tourists on the road, hotels may be more willing to cut you a deal.

A British Columbia Wine Institute’s website tem montes de useful tips for planning a wine-tasting trip através da Okanagan. Turismo BC is also a good starting point for information about Okanagan travel.

And if you’re thinking about a more permanent visit to the Okanagan, either to relocate or to buy a vacation home, get information about the region’s real estate market da Okanagan Conselho Real Estate Mainline ou o Sul Okanagan Câmara Imóveis.
