The conference topics were unique with content coming from Travel Professionals combined with Search Engine Optimization and Marketing Professionals, which brought out engaging discussions about balancing online strategy to reach both the consumer and search engines alike.
Online giants Google and Expedia brought their thoughts on the Canadian Online Travel Market. Both Vince Chirico -- Head of Travel for Google, and Sean Shannon, Managing Director -- Expedia Canada shared that Canada is recognized as a distinct and growing marketing when it comes to online travel.
Sharing their new vision of marketing Canada Globally, the Canadian Tourism Commission and their members presented the new dot travel strategy as created by Jens Thraenhart, Executive Director Marketing Strategy & Customer Relationship Management for the CTC, and Conference Co-Chair. Explore Canada will position the country as one of the most sought after destinations through education of all this country has to offer.
