Three new ads highlight two Manitoba destinations

Manitoba is taking to the airwaves with three new ads that are part of an on-going campaign to attract tourists. 

The ads are highlighting the summer polar bear viewing experience in Churchill, Winnipeg as a winter city and northern lights viewing in Churchill. 

“Investing in tourism is a part of our government’s vision for growth and innovation in Manitoba’s economy and we are pleased to help promote the great destinations that our communities and local businesses have to offer,” said Growth, Enterprise and Trade Minister Cliff Cullen.  “This is the second year in a row that we have increased funding for Travel Manitoba.  Manitoba’s tourism industry offers a variety of unique experiences and attractions contributing $1.5 billion to our province’s economy each year.”

Travel Manitoba have identified Summer polar bear and northern lights watching among growing tourism attractions in Manitoba. The goal in marketing these new activities is to extend the Northern tourism season in Churchill and surrounding areas, the minister said.

All three commercials will be launched at Rendez-vous Canada in Calgary on May 12 to a crowd of 1,500 including some 500 international travel trade wholesalers looking to promote new opportunities in Canada to international markets.”

The summer bears and northern lights commercials will air on Air Canada in-flight entertainment on all domestic and international flights as well as network television in Winnipeg, Montreal and Toronto, beginning May 15.  The Winnipeg in winter commercial will air later in the year.
