VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA, September 27, 2010 (Press-News.org) The Mazatlan delegation concluded the first of two Fall visits to Western Canada this past week. The group of travel industry executives and Tourism Board officials traveled to Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Saskatoon and Winnipeg. The tour took place within the framework of Mexico Fest and the annual Addison Travel Trade Shows; and aimed to promote the Mazatlan and Copper Canyon Getaway.

"Mazatlan's tourism industry representatives spoke enthusiastically to travel agents and travelers," Said the State Secretary of Tourism. "Our goal is to encourage Western Canadians to explore the myriad of attractions that the destination offers."

Mazatlan's seminars encouraged guests to explore Cosalá and El Quelite - the magical towns that surround Mazatlan, in addition to cultural and historic attractions. Paul Beckman invited guests to participate in the upcoming Sustainable Nature Tourism Symposium & Expo taking place in Mazatlan in December 2010. Mr. Beckman, President of the event's organizing committee, noted that the expo will bring together universities, entrepreneurs, governments and environmental authorities to discuss the development of sustainable tourism in the region.

Thousands of Canadians travel to Mazatlan each year, and many return multiple times to the city known as the Pearl of the Pacific. Throughout the tour, the delegation expressed the diversity of activities available, which provide new and exciting experiences to Canadians who choose Mazatlan as their holiday destination.

The second phase of the Fall Western Canada Tour will consist of breakfast seminars for travel agents and trade media in Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver on October 13, 14 and 15 and a training seminar to the reservations staff of Westjet Vacations.
