Ottawa Tourism launched a new campaign to encourage visitors to Canada's capital this summer and fall, as Tourism Week in Canada continues.
The organization is offering to cover the cost of one night in a hotel, as long as visitors book a stay of three or more nights at participating hotels in Ottawa. The campaign titled “3rd Night On US” runs from now until October 10.
“We are celebrating an outstanding year of culture and creativity in Ottawa,” says Michael Crockatt, president and chief executive officer of Ottawa Tourism. “There is a pent-up demand to visit festivals and museums, and to admire visual art and catch a live music show—all the things we've missed so much over the past two years.”
The campaign is beginning in the middle of Tourism week in Canada.
Some of the events happening this summer in the capital that could lead to more tourists include:
- At the National Gallery of Canada, a General Idea retrospective runs June 3 to November 22, 2022
- New venues (LeBreton Flats Park, Zibi) to celebrate Canada Day 2022
- An impressive lineup at RBC Ottawa Bluesfest July 7-17, 2022
- Regular live music shows at Queen St. Fare, LIVE on Elgin, Red Bird, Rainbow Bistro, and more
As a symbol of celebration for Tourism Week in Canada, the popular OTTAWA sign in the city's ByWard Market neighbourhood is lit up with green lights until June 4.
