Rare Indigo Re-launch a Howling Success

Vancouver, British Columbia - Vancouver's tourism industry came out in force to support the December 13th re-launch of Rare Indigo Ventures Inc., a BC-based corporate event and destination management company.

Established more than 10 years ago, Rare Indigo has re-opened under the leadership of president Vivian Farkas as well as chief financial officer Vera Farkas and director Yvonne DeValone, with the financial backing of the well-established Farkas family holdings.

Vivian Farkas believes the re-launched Rare Indigo will benefit from Western Canada's rapidly growing tourism industry

"Destination travel will increase dramatically leading up to the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. The eyes of the world will not only be on Vancouver and Whistler, but on the whole country," she said. "This opens up new opportunities in Victoria, Banff, Jasper and the Sea to Sky corridor between Vancouver and Whistler."

Vancouver Mayor Larry Campbell was on hand to celebrate the re-launch, and was sworn in as Deputy Moondog during an initiation ceremony marking his support for the company, and witnessed by more than 150 guests.

"I'm thrilled to be part of this occasion," said Campbell. "Tourism is vital to our city, so I'm especially pleased to support such an innovative company in this industry."

Farkas says the wolf, or moondog, is an important part of Rare Indigo's brand and corporate culture. "The wolf is an icon of Western Canada's wilderness," explained Farkas. "Becoming a moondog is all about shared vision and celebrating successes. It symbolizes leadership, teamwork and survival instincts. Mayor Campbell shares these values and we're pleased to have him join our Wolf Pack."
