Cornwall Tourism attending Travel & Vacation Show

March 24, 2019

Cornwall Tourism will be promoting fun events and experiences in the area at the Travel and Vacation Show in the nation’s capital this coming weekend.

Now in its 24th year, the Ottawa Travel and Vacation Show features more than 200 exhibitors focused exclusively on destinations and travel. The show is attended by thousands of people in search of travel and vacation ideas – be it an international trip or a weekend getaway.

“We’ve attended the Travel and Vacation Show for a number of years and it’s always a positive experience,” said Kevin Lajoie, Tourism Coordinator. “It’s a great opportunity for us to speak to Ottawa-area residents about the many fun things to experience in our area. Our proximity to the nation’s capital makes it an ideal spot for those seeking a fun day trip or weekend getaway.”

Cornwall Tourism will be handing out copies of the recently-released 2019 Visitor Guide as well as the popular regional cycling maps and other useful information.

“We have a great mix of festivals and events, shopping and dining, attractions, accommodations and outdoor amenities in our area,” said Mr. Lajoie. “There really is something to suit every interest.”

Cornwall Tourism will be located at Booth 125 at the show.

The Ottawa Travel and Vacation Show is just one of several consumer shows that Cornwall Tourism has attended this year as part of its overall marketing efforts. The department also recently exhibited at the Montreal Bicycle Show as well as the Outdoor Adventure Show in Montreal. Cornwall Tourism also participated in the recent Sport Events Congress in Ottawa, hosted by the Canadian Sport Tourism Alliance.
