We’re delighted to be featured in The Moodie Blog, written by none other than travel retail legend Martin Moodie. In his latest article, “A Flying Kiwi discovers land, sea and sky at Vancouver International Airport” Martin takes readers on a thoughtful and entertaining journey through Vancouver and YVR, highlighting some of the special gems he discovered along the way.
Among them? Northern Bars! We were so excited to see our Nanaimo Bars included as part of his experience. Thank you, Martin, for the sweet shoutout!
You can read the full article here.
If you're travelling through YVR, you can find our bars at the Duty Free shops—perfect for gifting, sharing, or just treating yourself to a truly local taste before takeoff.
Thanks for reading.💛
While the article provides an engaging narrative about the travel experience at YVR, it raises interesting questions about how duty-free shops curate their offerings. The mention of local treats like Nanaimo Bars is a strategic choice to attract travelers. It’s reminiscent of how destinations like Vegas Now leverage local culture to enhance visitor experiences, merging commercial interests with cultural representation.
