Granite Travel Trade Expo in Winnipeg in fall 2024

Ontario dates for Granite Travel Trade Expos are Nov. 4 – 7

TORONTO — With its Western Canada shows wrapped up for the season, Granite Travel Trade Expos is now heading to Ontario for four events in early November.

Cities, dates and venues for the Ontario fall schedule are …

  • Ottawa – Nov. 4 – Hilton Garden Inn Ottawa Airport
  • Richmond Hill – Nov. 5 – Bellvue Manor
  • London – Nov. 6 – Best Western Plus Lamplighter Inn & Conference Centre
  • Hamilton – Nov. 7 – Royal Botanical Gardens

Bradley Dean, Partner, Granite Productions in Oakville, said the Western Canada Expos were a smash. Events took place in Winnipeg (Oct. 7), Victoria (Oct. 9) and Surrey, (Oct.10).

The shows attracted more than 30 suppliers and 240+ travel advisors, said Dean.

“It was our first time coming to Winnipeg and of course, everyone’s always a little nervous when holding an event in a new market,” he said. “But this far exceeded our expectations and I’m thrilled that our first Fall Expos 2024 were such a success and so are our partners and the agents who attended.”

Every Expo focuses on training and networking, with face-to-face interaction with agents and products.

In each city, a presentation series featured 15-minute segments by suppliers, followed by a trade show, dinner, and prize giveaways.

In addition to a grand prize of a seven-night stay at Bahia Principe Grande in Jamaica, each Expo gave away the following…

  • 4-night stay at any Grand Oasis Brand Resort
  • 4-night stay at Serenade Punta Cana
  • 3-night stay at Princess Junior Suite
