Yukon Convention Bureau Fall Sales Missions

  • Ottawa Sales Mission & Travel Trade Show, Oct 11-14, 2011 Ottawa, Ontario
  • Travel Trade Show, September 7th, 2011 Vancouver, BC

YCB would like to extend our gratitude and congratulate all our partners in making our 2011 Fall Sales Missions a huge success!

This year YCB partnered together with five of our members to attend a new trade show series for the YCB sales line up. The Travel Trade Canada Silver Shows, were held in Ottawa and Vancouver and were a great success. Attendance for both shows was excellent and provided the YCB with a number of leads with independent, corporate and non for profit meeting planners and executives. The contacts made at these two trade shows have already produced formal bid requests (these sometimes can take years to generate) and a number of future business leads.

YCB would like to thank it's following members for their enthusiasm, time and support for these events:

Our in market collective presence easily pronounced and distinguished Yukon from all other participants. YCB continues to attend these events and we welcome our Tourism partners to join our team in the future. When YCB members partner together, it becomes more affordable for all and we make a stronger impression on our clients as destination Yukon.

For more information on joining with the YCB partners, call us or stop by our office, 2nd floor, in the WhitePass building. We look forward to hearing from you!
