Discover the Signature Experiences Collection®

Travellers around the world are telling us they want to explore and live a life that’s less ordinary.

That’s why the Canadian Tourism Commission has created the Signature Experiences Collection® – once-in-a-lifetime travel experiences found in Canada. They show the world what Canada’s tourism brand is all about.

The Signature Experiences Collection® helps eligible tourism businesses promote their product internationally. It also makes it easier for the travel trade to sell more Canada, and make more money doing so. Media can utilize the Collection to find a rich array of story ideas, media collateral and other resources.

Do you work in the travel trade? Find out how to sell more Canada.
