2022 Saltscapes Expo – Member Information
UPDATE – March 7, 2022:
- Restaurants and food service establishments
- Businesses with a consumer experience, such as retail, tours, and/or tastings
The 50% discount brings the booth cost to $720 for a 10×10 exhibit space.
We are thrilled to announce this offer will also extend to Taste of Nova Scotia member businesses that feature a consumer experience who meet the above qualifications and are ultimately deemed eligible by Tourism Nova Scotia. These eligible Taste members will have the opportunity to receive this discount while also exhibiting in the Taste of Nova Scotia area.
