Operation Seduction, a hit on the international scene !
from Japan, South Korea and China. Held in Ottawa, Rendez-‐vous Canada is the biggest tourism show in Canada. Or- ganized by the Canadian Tourism Commission, the event brings together foreign tour buyers and Canadian tourism operators under the same roof. “Since we are located in the shadow, so to speak, of our nation’s capital’s major at- tractions, we are working on a continuous basis with Ottawa Tourism to highlight the
quality of the tourism products in Prescott- Russell,” noted TPRT President Claude Leclair. “It’s a priv- ilege to position ourselves within an event such as Rendez-vous Canada and to high- light our region at the national level.” A three-hour tour was organized in Pres- cott-Russell. According to TPRT General Manager Chantale Ladouceur, this marketing effort was a total success: “Buyers really appreciat-
ed their jaunt in Prescott-Russell. They were impressed with the quality of the products and they were charmed by the rural flavour of the region.” Participating tourism operators were just as thrilled by the experience and are en- thusiastic about the possibility of greeting tourist groups from all over the world. The region is also fine-tuning its wares within the provincial tourism industry.

City day camps returning to Calypso
àThe City of Ottawa has lifted its ban on day camp trips to CalypsoWater Park. Shown here is part of the new river ride at the park, Kongo Expedition. The city cancelled their outings after the Technical Standards and Safety Act body (TSSA) placed 20 charges against the popular summertime destination, varying in degrees of seri- ousness. The charges related to the 2011 and 2012 operating seasons. City program manager of Aquatic Services Dan Brisebois said the City had received supplemental information from Calypso management. As a result the City lifted the moratorium and looked forward to continued programming at Calypso.
