The Tourism Thunder Bay Show Your Badge Program is an incentive program to encourage event visitors to extend their stay and to get out and explore all that Thunder Bay has to offer. This discount program is offered exclusively to event organizers hosting eligible events with 50 room nights (50 guests staying in a local hotel). In regards to the Show Your Badge program, “visitors” can include participants/performers, delegates, officials, sponsors/VIPs, volunteers and media participating in the event. 

Upon presentation of their event-issued name badge at participating establishments, visitors will become eligible to receive a special discount or offer. The badge will be easily identifiable, they are on a bright blue lanyard with our distinct white Show Your Badge branding.

We are asking participating establishments to offer a minimum of 10% discount on regular priced food, regular priced retail, regular priced service or regular priced admission. We will also accept incentives unique to the badge holders.

Tourism Thunder Bay will provide the event organizers the official Show Your Badge logo and a list of offers and discounts, highlighting participating merchants, food establishments and attractions, in advance of arriving to Thunder Bay.
