CTRG_2015introduction.indd 3 18/05/2015 12:02:33 PM Canadian Tourism Resource Guide Welcome to edition thirteen of what has come to be the ‘go to’ reference source for Canadian travel agents looking for Canadian experiences to present to their clients. The domestic market is the biggest source of visitors to tourism accommodation, transportation and attractions operators. Making an investment to reach the domestic market is just good business. Given that the Canadian Tourism Resource Guide also reaches a wide audience of international buyers makes the publication and web site especially worthwhile. We’ve seen a lot of changes over the past 10+ years. What began as primarily a hardcopy reference source supported by a web site has evolved into a presentation suite (web + print + digital) each used differently but at the same time complementing one another. For example, we have found that while readers like the tactile characteristics of a printed book, when quick access to a particular destination, attraction or supplier is paramount nothing beats the quick search features available at www.canadiantourismguide.ca. Similarly when reaching out to international tourism buyers, presenting Canada’s suppliers and destinations can best be communicated by emailing the digital edition to readers overseas. Once reading the digital edition with its many references to www. canadiantourismguide.ca the international readers too, quickly learn that the searchable web site gives them fastest access to the information they need. This year on the product side we are pleased to feature many of the Signature Experience suppliers welcoming Canadians and visitors alike to Canada’s north. As someone who began his career in travel and tourism in Yukon, the north holds a special place in my heart. A big ‘thank you’ to the destination marketing organizations of Manitoba, Nunavut and Saskatchewan who worked with us to make certain that all of their Signature Experience suppliers were included. In 2015 we increased the number of destinations and suppliers using the video link facility. When you see the VIEW MOVIE icon with the rotating movie reels it’s a very visible indicator that there is lots more to see and learn – just a click away. We’ll be encouraging the increased use of this application at www.canadiantourismguide.ca in the months ahead. Take a look – try it out. Baxter Travel Media is Canada’s largest publisher to the travel trade. More circulation, wider distribution using multiple channels to market, and a willingness to work with you to achieve results for your business are only some of the reasons we encourage you to contact us. David McClung President Baxter Travel Media Terry Ohman President Travel & Tourism Solutions (TTS) Inc. 4 CTRG_2015introduction.indd 4 18/05/2015 12:02:34 PM Introduction Canadian Tourism Resource Guide Bienvenue à la 13e édition de ce qui est devenu une source de référence incontournable pour les agents de voyage canadiens à la recherche d’expériences et de découvertes touristiques à proposer à leurs clients au Canada. Le marché du tourisme domestique est fondamental pour les fournisseurs d’hébergement, de transport et d’attractions. Il est donc important d’investir pour rejoindre ce marché cible. Grâce à sa publication et à son site Internet, le Canadian Tourism Resource Guide rejoint une large clientèle d’acheteurs internationaux et, de ce fait, devient un outil de développement d’une grande valeur. Nous avons beaucoup évolué depuis 10 ans. Ce guide, d’abord présenté en version papier avec l’appui d’un site Internet, est devenu au fil des ans un outil de référence combinant l’Internet, l’imprimé et le numérique, chaque plateforme étant utilisée différemment tout en étant complémentaire des autres. Par exemple, nous savons que les lecteurs privilégient la version imprimée pour trouver rapidement une destination, une attraction ou un fournisseur particulier, mais par contre, qu’il n’y a rien de mieux que la fonction de recherche rapide offerte à l’adresse www.canadiantourismguide.ca. De même, pour rejoindre les acheteurs internationaux, il est plus efficace de présenter les fournisseurs et les destinations du Canada sur version numérique transmise par courriel aux lecteurs étrangers. Dans cette version numérique, plusieurs références à www.canadiantourismguide.ca conduisent les lecteurs internationaux vers la fonction de recherche qui les dirige rapidement vers l’information dont ils ont besoin. Cette année, nous incluons plusieurs fournisseurs de la collection Expériences canadiennes distinctives qui permettent de présenter au reste du monde le vrai visage du Canada. Ayant moi-même débuté au Yukon ma carrière en voyage et tourisme, les régions nordiques occupent une place privilégiée dans mon coeur. Un immense merci aux agences de tourisme réceptif du Manitoba, du Nunavut et de la Saskatchewan qui nous ont grandement aidés à faire le recensement complet des fournisseurs de ECD sur leurs territoires respectifs. En 2015, nous avons augmenté le nombre de destinations et fournisseurs utilisant la fonction de lien vidéo. Lorsque vous apercevez le symbole (voir vidéo), vous savez que vous avez accès à davantage d’information sur cette destination. Nous ferons une campagne d’incitation à utiliser cette application dans les mois à venir. Faites-en l’essai dès aujourd’hui. Baxter Travel Media est le plus important éditeur canadien se consacrant à l’industrie touristique. Une meilleure circulation, une vaste distribution grâce à de multiples canaux et un désir de travailler avec vous pour atteindre des résultats positifs ne sont que quelques-unes des raisons qui devraient vous inciter à prendre contact avec nous.

    TRAVEL TREASURES 2018 SEE AMERICA COAST TO COAST Dear Friends, What a change time makes in modern day travel. Growing up in the 1960’s and 70’s my parents seldom ventured beyond our hometown of Louisville, Ky. On occasion we would visit some relatives in Portland, Tn. but most often Eastview, Ky. was our “vacation” destination of choice. Tere my Dad’s parents lived on a farm with plenty of felds, woods, clean springs to drink water from, and barns to play in. In the evening we could watch westerns on the black and white TV screen. I could only dream of one day possibly getting to go out west. Guess what? Tis year my wife Donna and I did just that. We went on the Black Hills-Grand Tetons-Canadian Rockies Tour in August. Words can’t describe how great this trip was. Te wonder and beauty of God’s grace through this North American creation, what has sometimes been called breathtaking, is no joke. Lots to see and do, if ever possible give this tour a try. It was beyond my dreams. Our desire for you (our Shockey friends) would be to look through this 2018 catalog and maybe fnd a tour of your dreams and become venturous enough to fulfll it. Life is too short not to. Travel is easy, exciting, and relaxing with Shockey Tours. We can provide you with a worry-free vacation, one that ofers you the comfort of having a trained professional guide to care for you within the security of a group, and our professional drivers and comfortable coaches will ensure you the most pleasant trip possible.
