ABOUT RENDEZ-VOUS CANADA 2010
Overview
Rendez-vous Canada (RVC) is the Canadian Tourism Commission's major Canadian international cooperative sales marketplace for the buying and selling of Canada's tourism products. The Canadian Tourism Commission holds the official mark for Rendez-vous Canada and has been responsible for the event since 1977. As of 1998, Rendez-vous Canada has been staged by the Tourism Industry Association of Canada (TIAC) on behalf of the Canadian Tourism Commission, including provincial, territorial and municipal/regional tourism authorities and the private sector.
 
Rendez-vous Canada's principal objectives are:
 
  • To provide an efficient opportunity for international buyers to meet suppliers of Canadian tourism products, services and information in one place annually for four days of programmed business;
     
  •  To increase the awareness in international target markets of Canada as a first-class international travel destination;
     
     
  • To increase the range and number of internationally competitive new Canadian products, services and packages offered for sale;
     
  •  To provide an opportunity to inform the tourism industry both international and Canadian of Canada's international marketing activities and plans.

This business is conducted between Canada's internationally competitive tourism industry sellers, in cooperation with our Destination Marketing Organizations (DMOs), and international Buyers (foreign tour operators, wholesalers and packagers). Participation in the event is by invitation only.
 
Rendez-vous Canada is a contract marketplace. The key to the success of Rendez-vous Canada is the program of pre-scheduled, computerized 12-minute appointments which brings together Buyers, Sellers and DMOs over a four-day period. Approximately 21,000 appointments are pre-scheduled.
 
Participants include:
 
International Buyers are qualified and nominated under established RVC guidelines by Canadian Tourism Commission staff in Canadian Embassies, High Commissions, Consulates and Trade Offices -- both overseas and in the United States -- in consultation with provincial government and industry partners. Nominations may also be suggested by delegates registered for RVC.
