World Tulip Summit 2017 Westin Hotel Ottawa
WORLD TULIP SUMMIT 2017 WESTIN HOTEL OTTAWA CANADA OCTOBER 5‐7 2017 Report for Springfields Horticultural Society Trustees Adrian Jansen INTRODUCTION The 7th World Tulip Summit was held in Ottawa, Canada in October 2017, hosted by the Ottawa Tulip Festival. In addition to celebrating 15 years since the first WTS in Ottawa in 2002, it was also the 65th anniversary of the Ottawa Tulip festival, and 150 years since the founding of the Dominion of Canada. There has been some confusion as to the year of the first Summit. Although we refer to the first as being in 2002 in Ottawa, there was an ‘unofficial’ summit the previous year in Tonami, Japan. It was there that it was decided to invite a number of countries to participate the following year in Ottawa. This Tonami meeting is now known as ‘The Inspirational Summit’. The second Summit was in Canberra, Australia 2006, 3rd in Spalding 2008, 4th Skagit Valley, USA in 2010, 5th in Istanbul, Turkey in 2013, and the 6th in Suncheon City, South Korea, 2015 Initially, having received the invitation to attend, David, Peter and myself agreed we would not send a delegate as SHS couldn’t justify the cost of airfare, hotel and registration fees. Having explained this to Michel Gauthier, the Chairman of the WTS, he understood our situation, but he was very keen to have us attend. In order to help, the delegate fees could be waived, and the organisers would pay one return airfare, if we covered hotel costs. After consultation with Trustees, we decided I would attend alone.

YOUR Canadian Tulip Festival Exposing Brands to Over Half a Million People Customized Marketing Through Sponsorship Support of an Iconic Canadian Festival
YOUR Canadian Tulip Festival Exposing brands to over half a million people Customized Marketing through Sponsorship Support of an Iconic Canadian Festival MAY 10 – 20 MAI 2019 Truly a part of our national identity, the Canadian Tulip Festival consistently ranks as one of the top 5 identifiers in the minds of Canadians nationwide when they think of Canada’s Capital City...even ahead of our beloved Senator’s hockey team1. If popularity is measured by attendance, the Canadian Tulip Festival ranks first, along with Winterlude, as the most attended Festival in the City of Ottawa2. With an annual regional economic impact of over $140 million per year3, for 66 years, the Tulip Festival has been a celebration of winter’s end. Its floral beauty, its positioning as the first outdoor festival of the warm weather season together with the Festival’s historical roots, would seem to explain the event’s large attendance and strong goodwill among Canadians. Drawing over 600,000 National and International visitors, the Canadian Tulip Festival has served as both a celebration and a remembrance of the Dutch gift of Tulips to Canada’s Capital. Our hope is that you will join our efforts to maintain and grow the Canadian Tulip Festival legacy.
