On the guide pages you will find everything the city and region has to offer. There’s a section on self-guided walking tours through the historic city center, information on sights, food and drink, and lots for the outdoors enthusiast.

Anderson says the entire Tourism Medicine Hat team thinks it’s the best they’ve ever produced.

He says a significant part of the tourism and visitor market for Medicine Hat is visiting friends and relatives. He says these visitors may not see themselves as tourists and may not want to do touristy things but want an experience that is unique and special to the place.

On the flip side, the hosts would like to show a little of the community they want to live in and the community they have fallen in love with.

“Our guide is largely intended to help the locals, the first ambassadors, the people who love the city and want a reference book in front of them so that they can recruit friends and relatives who want to meet here … or at the moment By having arrived in and looking for things to see and do while in town, this guide gives you a really strong visual and written feel of what we offer as a community. ”

Anderson calls Medicine Hatters the city’s main ambassadors.

“This gives them a chance to flip through the guide, and it both confirms that they see their home in this magazine and are excited to see what it has in store for them and their visiting friends and relatives,” he says. “This increases the traffic in our community and that is really good for our entire industry.”

The guides are sent as far as Manitoba, interior British Columbia, all of Alberta, and possibly Montana and Idaho.
