A new tourism campaign is tapping into the nostalgia of our childhood travels by encouraging people to share vintage photos of the Douglas region.

The “Show me your paradise” campaign is designed to reignite people’s love for the region through memories and old photographs.

Tara Bennet, executive officer for TPDD, said the campaign has been such a hit they are going to run a competition in conjunction with the campaign. 

“We have received some brilliant images through Show Me Your Paradise which will be incorporated into digital content to be shared over the coming months,” she said.

“The month long campaign will close at the end of March and due to the high level of interest we’ve stated planning a subsequent competition to capitalise on the interest generated.”

The winner of the competition will be selected by their photograph and will get to choose one of three prizes.
