Press Release Body: GoNanaimo.com announces the creation of the Nanaimo 50-Kilometer
Holiday with seven self-guided tours within a 50-kilometer radius of Nanaimo,
British Columbia, Canada. As gasoline prices continue to rise, vacationing locally
becomes more attractive and Vancouver Island has so much to offer. The 50-Kilometer
Holiday includes two walking tours within Nanaimo and five driving/bicycling tours
to nearby mid-island destinations. Each tour is carefully crafted with a printable
version and map which website users are invited to use on their trips.

Nanaimo's waterfront and downtown are explored on walking tours which combine
historic sites with scenic beauty. Lots of inviting cafes, galleries, and shops are
along the way. Cyclists and motorists will visit the city's finest public parks on
the North Nanaimo Driving Tour. South Nanaimo is largely rural with some enjoyable
attractions and hiking trails. The city's finest private art gallery is in Cedar and
Canada's best bungy jumping is at Cassidy.

Further afield, Ladysmith and Chemainus offer history, hiking, kayaking, and
culture. The cruise to Thetis Island from Chemainus is a highlight. Gabriola Island
has some of western Canada's most spectacular coastal scenery, plus outstanding
bicycling and the region's top artist's colony. To the north, Parksville and
Qualicum Beach have outstanding museums, gardens, parks, and galleries. The view of
the Strait of Georgia from Qualicum Beach is unsurpassed. Butterflies, parrots, and
wildlife are featured at world class centres in Coombs and Errington.

With so much to see and do in and around Nanaimo, it's almost a waste to spend
thousands of dollars flying halfway across the world when you could have just as
much fun at home. An island holiday is a hassle-free holiday with no borders to
cross, no travel insurance to buy, no bookings to make, and no money to exchange. So
do your part to save the planet this summer by having a 50-Kilometer Holiday.

About the 50-Kilometer Holiday
The 50-Kilometre Holiday is roughly modeled on the 100-Mile Diet, a lifestyle
revolution reconnecting Canadians with their roots. By creating the tours,
GoNanaimo.com hopes to encourage Nanaimo residents to conserve energy and strengthen
their community by traveling locally. The travel website's seven self-guided tours
are now freely accessible online at http://www.gonanaimo.com/tours/
