Destination Ontario is pleased to share news of an incredibly successful Rendez-vous Canada (RVC) 2019!
Rendez-vous Canada is co-managed and produced by Destination Canada and the Tourism Industry Association of Canada and is held in a different Canadian city each year. It is Canada’s premier tourism marketplace, bringing tour operators, wholesalers, and media from over 30 countries around the world. The event promotes Canadian destinations directly to those that sell travel experiences in international markets.
Co-hosted in Toronto on May 28th-31st, by ourselves and Tourism Toronto, and in strong partnership with Destination Northern Ontario and with support from Ottawa Tourism, Niagara Parks Commission and UP Express, RVC 2019 exceeded expectations. There were a record number of delegates, with over 1,900 delegates from around the world filling the Metro Toronto Convention Centre throughout the four days; undertaking more than 30,000 pre-scheduled one-on-one meetings.
The immediate economic impact of hosting RVC 2019 is estimated to be approximately $3.6 million; and more than $90 million in future business to Ontario’s tourism industry is expected be generated from meetings that were conducted over the four days.
