Positive Vibes From Canadian Travelers at the Montreal Outdoor Adventure Show!

Your Tourism Champions booth was on display at the Montreal Outdoor Adventure Show at the Palais des congrès de Montréal on March 28th & 29th. We were joined in the booth by Kosta Tsimiklis from REACH GLOBAL, representing I LOVE NEW YORK, and Sylvie Nelson from Adirondack Executive Services, who provided translation services for us at the show.

We had constant traffic through the booth over the two-day show, with a good mix of attendees. There was still some hesitancy among Canadians to travel to the United States. However, we had a lot of interest from Canadian looking for hiking and camping opportunities in New York state. They were also looking for biking opportunities and train rides through the state. 

The booth was on a corner in the middle of the show floor. Attendees enjoyed interacting with the map backdrop in the booth. From the conversations we had in the booth, I feel Canadians are excited to explore New York State when they are ready to return.
