Rendez-vous Canada provides a unique platform to launch new tourism products, share market insights, network, and increase the range of tourism experiences that the industry offers.
This year, our hosts Destination Ontario and Tourism Toronto exceeded all expectations as they welcomed over 580 international buyers from 30 countries and highlighted the true spirit and energy of Toronto, Ontario and Canada.
"Rendez-vous Canada continues to draw record attendance, that means buyers from around the world and sellers from across the country will be driving more international travel to Canada. Congratulations to both the Destination Ontario and Tourism Toronto teams for welcoming over 1,900 attendees to experience your incredible hospitality”
– David Goldstein, President and CEO, Destination Canada.
