Young travellers can experience a whole new level of fun and adventure year-round with a trip across Canada
F
or younger clients seeking high-octane adventures, Instagrammable foodie fun, and the perfect background for those essential selfie shots, Canada is the answer! With its blend of jaw-droppingly gorgeous wild nature close to major cities, big-name festivals including the Toronto International Film Festival and music event Osheaga, and a culinary, craft beer and cocktail scene that’s winning critical global acclaim, there’s plenty to see, do – and taste – in Canada. Stuck for ideas? Here are three of the best ways to target millennial travellers.
Festival fun Recently ranked the number-one major music festival in the world, Osheaga welcomes hundreds of thousands of music fans to the heart of Montreal each August. Festival-goers flock to Jean Drapeau Parc for three days and nights of incredible live performances from the hippest new acts, alongside the biggest names in music such as Coldplay, Iggy and the Stooges, and Blondie. The World Ski & Snowboard Festival is the
ultimate end-of-season party in the ultimate winter sports resort, Whistler. Experience 10 high-energy days of spring skiing, goofy contests such as the fancy-dress Twisted Tea Slush Cup through the slush of the tube park, plus big-name DJ after-parties, fashion shows and free daily concerts – all with legendary Whistler hospitality. One of the world’s largest publicly
attended film events, the Toronto International Film Festival attracts some 480,000 people over 11 days and nights of film screenings, seminars and parties in downtown Toronto. Enticing a high calibre of movie star support, it’s one of the best places to rub shoulders with the Hollywood elite at Toronto’s coolest bars, restaurants and clubs as the industry convenes for its annual autumn pre-Oscars buzzfest.
BOOK IT: Osprey Holidays offers a three-night stay in downtown Toronto during the film festival, including flights and room-only accommodation, for £879 per person.
