OTTAWA — Travellers and the travel industry are welcome to attend The Travel & Vacation Show, taking place in Ottawa April 12 – 13.

‘A consumer show with the added benefits of a trade show’, the Ottawa event is geared exclusively to destinations and travel. While the focus is on consumers seeking travel and holiday information, show reps say the travel industry is welcome as well, with free entrance.

“All that is needed is for travel industry representatives to provide their business card at the show office to enter,” as a show organizer tells Travelweek.

The 28th annual edition of The Travel & Vacation Show will take place at Rogers Centre Ottawa (formerly the Shaw Centre and Ottawa Convention Centre).

The show typically attracts 150+ exhibitors from Canada and around the world, with some 17,000 attendees.
