Success Stories
Local Explorers has partnered with Taste of Nova Scotia (TONS) to create a powerful mobile passport app. This app aims to promote Nova Scotia’s culinary offerings, including seafood chowder, lobster, restaurants, and various craft products and beverages. The app features three trails – the Lobster Trail, the Chowder Trail, and the Good Cheer Trail – allowing users to discover over 200 local establishments, plan experiences, collect loyalty points, and earn prizes. Emily Haynes, executive director of Taste of Nova Scotia, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “They’ve helped us bring our vision to reality with a fully customized app that showcases our restaurants, producers, processors, farmers, chefs, artisans and more.” The app not only supports TONS’s mandates of promoting Nova Scotia’s products internationally and as a culinary destination but also bolsters the province’s “Buy Local” initiatives, which have become increasingly important in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
