New Directories - Now Being Delivered - Contain Several Pages on Events, Tickets and More

BELLINGHAM, Wash., Feb. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- It's not too early for Bellingham residents to begin planning their trip to the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, and Dex is here to help. The 2009 Dex(R) Yellow Pages are now being delivered throughout Bellingham and contain several pages specifically designed to help prepare local residents for the Games.

The new section features detailed information on the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, taking place Feb. 12 - 28, 2010. It includes:

• Background on the games, such as how to get tickets, Vancouver transportation options, and information on volunteering;
• Venue information, including detailed maps on where to find the correct venues for all of the events taking place around the city;
• Details on how to get into Canada and to Vancouver;
• Web site addresses and phone numbers for more information on the Games.

"We're always trying to help residents find information on the things that are important to them, and our new Olympics guide is no exception," said Nancy Smith, regional marketing manager, Dex. "It's a great complement to the thousands of local business listings and community pages that can also be found not only in the 2009 directory but on DexKnows.com(R), our online local search site."

Yellow Pages remain a vital resource for adults seeking local businesses. According to a recent Knowledge Networks/SRI Industry Usage Study, approximately 87 percent of the U.S. population used the print Yellow Pages in 2007. Yellow Pages usage - including print and online searches - grew to 17.2 billion searches in 2007, up from 16.7 billion in 2006.
