What are the Canadian Tourism Awards?

In case you haven't already heard, we're looking to honour Canada's best tourism products, people and experiences. The Canadian Tourism Awards provide the travel and tourism sector an opportunity to recognize excellence in front of an audience of Parliamentarians, dignitaries and industry peers. Submit your nomination in one of 12 categories and your nominee could be among those invited to the national ceremony in Ottawa this fall.

We'll even fly the finalists to Ottawa-Gatineau for the big night!

For more information or to apply or nominate today, please visit the awards website at www.tiac-en.adbeast.com.

Call for Judges:
