Canada tourism reaps rewards of new awareness created by 2010 Winter Games

VANCOUVER, Feb. 10 /PRNewswire/ - Awareness of Canada as a tourism destination, created through the Games, is translating into travel bookings in the Canadian Tourism Commission's (CTC) core markets as a result of post-Games marketing campaigns. As part of its tourism strategy, Canada became the first hosting country to successfully integrate new, high-definition footage of tourism experiences into the coverage of the Games by international broadcasters. Audiences around the globe followed the Games, and also got a taste of the Canadian adventures that await them here in all regions of the country.

Video package includes a fully produced and split track edit narrated by CTC President and CEO, Michele Mckenzie, highlighting activities as part of Canada's Olympic Tourism Strategy during the 2010 Winter Games.
