Indoor waterpark comes to Quebec
illed as “the most important four season resort in Eastern Canada”, Village Vacances Valcartier Resort has opened an indoor waterpark called Bora Parc. Launched on December 6, it was designed by the Aquatic
Development Group (ADG) and is the first of its kind in Quebec. The Polynesian-themed facility spans more than 102,000 square feet (9,476 sq
m) and features 14 slides from WhiteWater together with a FlowRider Double from ADG, a 4,000 sq ft (372 sq m) wave pool and an adventure wave river utilising ADG's WaveTek wave generation technology. With a capacity of 1,000 people, Bora Parc also features 14 plus slides from WhiteWater, of which five are 50 feet (15 m) tall. There is also a family zone with its own pool and activities, a restaurant terrace with private space for groups and events, plus private cabanas. “Our expertise in waterpark and winter
playground management has allowed us to improve our entertainment experience," notes Guy Drouin, president and general manager of Village Vacances Valcartier. "Our vacationers now have the chance to visit a waterpark in any season.” Built at a cost of $65 million, the
waterpark was introduced in order to increase guest's length of stay and provide a market differential to stay ahead of competition. It is complemented by a new 4-star hotel offering year-round accommodation. Village Vacances Vaclartier management reported a large turnout during the Christmas holiday season.
